Tricks
of the Trade: Dipping Plaster Bandages.
No Need to cut with scissors,
simply use the sharp edge of a desk or table.
If you need to cover
a large area fast, simply cut the bandages twice the length you
need and fold over.
Keeping plaster bandages flat is a challenge. Rather then spending time flattening them out after you dip them, follow this procedure:
Grasp the bandages by
all four corners. Use the thumbs and pointer fingers as shown
and the little fingers against the palms of your hands.
Without releasing your
grip, dip the bandages into the water.
Now push your hands together,
remember, don't let go. You can wring all excess water out of
the plaster bandages.
If you didn't loosen
your grip on the four corners you can successfully open the plaster
bandages and they will be flat and smooth, ready to apply.
