Aging is accomplished by sandpaper, sponges, spray bottles, steel brushes, dye, bleaching (fading), glue, spray paint, matches, cigarette lighters, motor oil, cooking oil, food coloring, Kensington gore (movie blood) and Fuller's earth (sterile movie dirt). There are also useful commercial wax crayons available like “Schmutzstik” and “Schmere” for an on-set kit (UCLA).
