Re: Re: Cutting off the Cast(s)

[Guest guest]

Between my two boys I have had a variety of plaster casts, and some came off

sooo easy while others were torture to remove. I have no explanation for why

some are worse than others.

Re: Cutting off the Cast(s)

You know, I can't believe how easily these casts come off for some of

you. I am jealous. A little soaking, a little cutting, and bam - the

cast is off. My son's casts must have been made out of concrete. Not

only would they not soften after 3 hours of soaking in straight

vinegar, but they wouldn't cut off either. I wound up going to the

doctor's appt. with a cast that was barely shredded at the toe and

near the groin area. You can imagine the stench when we walked into a

waiting room full of people with a vinegar wet cast. They probably

thought we hadn't showered in months.

them for about 10minutes gently rubbing the cast and streatching it.

Then used the safety scissors that I got from the dollar store, and it

came right off. They were serated, with a little rounded nub at the

end. They work great, and are safe to use.

Instead of pouring the solution into the cast, try soaking it in it. Fill up the

kitchen sink and let baby take a bath at the same time. It will cut your time in
