- Select proper width of the cast
- Open only 1 roll at a time
- Immerse the roll tape in water with room temperature for 5-10 seconds and squeeze 3-5 times.
- Construct the cast by wrapping spirally and make just 3 or 4 layers for non-a right bearing cast and 5 to 6 layers for weight bearing cast.
- About 3 to 4 minutes after immersion in water the cast is rigid enough to prevent further moulding.
- Smooth and rub the tape to achieve good adhesion.
Safety information
