Plaster of Paris Bandage Roll – 150mm x 2.75m

Plaster bandage is used for making models, scenes, and sculptures. It can be wrapped quickly around or onto a project and shaped before it sets hard. Can then be cut, drilled, painted, spray painted and varnished to give a durable finish.

Soaking: Soak one roll of plaster bandage intact gently into tepid, clean water for about 5 seconds until bubbles stop rising to the surface.

Squeezing: Take the bandage gently out of the water and squeeze out the excess water with hands pressing the bandage softly from the edges towards the middle.

Wrapping: Wrap the bandage layer upon layer immediately after squeezing and don’t wrap it too tightly.

Shaping: Shape the bandage by hand continuously during wrapping in order to make the bandage adhere evenly and remove air bubbles. Stop shaping when the bandage begins to set.

Setting times: The normal setting time is 2 – 5 minutes. To speed up drying use a hair dryer.

Storage: Keep unused and full bandages in a well sealed container away from moisture in a cool, dry place.
