FAQs
-
What is gunge?Gunge is a thick brightly coloured liquid used to get someone messy.
-
Is it safe?Our gunge is non-toxic, so will not harm you or stain your skin.
-
Will it stain surfaces?If cleaned quickly after use, our gunge should not stain surfaces. However, we strongly recommend covering any surfaces with a sheet. If the gunge does get on surfaces, wash as soon as possible with warm water and cleaning products.
-
Will it stain clothing?While it should not stain, we cannot guarantee as it will depend on the fabric. We find white clothes are more likely to stain, so always wash clothes as soon as possible, and try to wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty.
-
How much gunge does one bag of gunge make?Each bag makes 10 litres of gunge, which is a standard size bucket.

How do I make gunge?Our gunge comes in a small bag of powder. Each bag makes 10 litres of gunge, which is a standard size bucket.

What's the difference between Standard and Extra Thick?MessyPup is thicker than other suppliers' standard gunge by default. We have two thicknesses - Standard and Extra Thick. Standard will give a splash effect when poured over someone. Extra Thick will cling to the body more and gives a gooey feel. Watch our comparison video below to see the difference:
