Fake peeing

This is a strange question. But for a scene in my film, I need to show a character's POV of him peeing and then he gets distracted by someone in the nearby stall and he gets it on the floor and then aims back in the toilet, just a quick shot. I know how to make fake urine (water, yellow food coloring, maybe some salt.) But does anyone have a good way to show it squiring, to look realistic and natural? The only idea I could come up with was a turkey baster.

Any other suggestions?

thanks

How about using a simple water bottle, and a good continuous squeeze for the length of the shot?

You mean a water bottle with one of those plastic mouth pieces on it and use that to squirt right? That's a good idea. thank you

That's it!

Remember using that technique at college, it worked well!

A ziplock bag with a hole in it. Squeeze harder to increase the pressure of the flow. Different size holes will give different diameters of stream.

funnel, tubing and pressure on the outlet end to control the flow... liquid can be continually added to the funnel from a gallon jug to make it last as long as you want.

Why not just have the actor actually pee? If I were acting in that I wouldn't mind (shrug).

1) Take 37654!

2) Pee isn't really clean stuff to mess around with; an applejuice stain isn't clean either, but at least it doesn't stink.

Well all the pee has to do is get on the floor right? So as long as you are okay with possibly washing your shoes after, I'd do it. For a future project I am considering puking for real just so it looks more real and convincing, so if I'm willing to do that, peeing is not so bad lol.
