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. Simply fill the bucket with warm water, quickly add the powder and mix with either your hand or an electric mixer. Full mixing instructions are included with your order - watch our short video on how to make MessyPup gunge here!
  • How do I get rid of gunge?
    Our gunge is biodegradable, which means after you have finished, simply pour it down a drain. Adding cold water will help it dilute.
  • Is it slippery?
    Yes, very! Please be careful!
  • 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:
  • What colours does it come in?
    We offer a variety of colours. On the product page, once you select a colour, it will show you that colour in use! Can’t decide? Select Random, and we will pick a colour for you!
  • How does your UV gunge glow in the dark?
    Our UV gunge glows in the dark under UV light - you would need a UV blacklight to enable it to glow. When not under UV light, our UV gunge has a more neon colour compared to our standard gunge. See our UV gunge in action when under a UV blacklight:
  • How long does your gunge last for?
    The recommended use by date for our gunge powder is 2 years. Once the gunge has been made, we recommend using no later than 3 days.
