We have been using fiberglass casting tape for our casts, which we reinforce with plaster bandage before the angle cutting process.
Has anyone had issues with heels breaking or flaking off when you are peeling casts? What things did you do to stop it from happening? Are you using a special plaster vermiculite ratio?
Also, has anyone found a separator that works for them on a consistent basis, like a special soap or silicone spray?
Thank you for your feedback!
