Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hello, I saw a couple of posts regarding the roughness of the casts. Some moms mentioned the hy-tape and neoprene. I wanted to mention something that worked really well for us that I haven't seen mentioned for awhile. We used fabric and Modge Podge. Basically you pick up some fabric from a craft store (bring you child with or pick some of their favorite characters.) For Noah we did Curious , Cars, Tonka Trucks, etc. Then you cut out the fabric and apply modge podge over it. Modge Podge is basically a paste. If you go to Shriner's SLC the Child and Family Life department will supply you with some if you wish (but again - you might want to bring your own fabric so that you can personalize it with characters that your child likes.) The fabric/modge podge makes the cast smooth (plus it's fun to have a decorated cast.) It also works as a nice distraction for people who want to comment on the cast, but yet just don't know what to say. We heard a lot of " wow, look at all those cool trucks " ...etc.) People like to focus on the positives and it always brought a smile to Noah's face. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
