Detailed Instructions
MORE DETAILS:
Plaster Bandages: The 30 sq ft of plaster bandages is sufficient to cast the breasts, the largest of baby bellies and even shoulders, upper arms and/or upper thighs with multiple layers of plaster guaze.
What quality are you getting? The plaster bandages shown both measure 4in x 5yds. However, one clearly has much more plaster material, which makes all the difference. All kits sold by Casting Keepsakes supply the rolls shown on the left.
[Click photo for enlarged view.]
Plaster Casting Stone: It can be used to smooth out and/or reinforce the cast. It is a stronger version of the plaster that is embedded in the bandages. By adding the casting stone to the cast, you will no longer see the layered look created by the bandages. However, if you like the bandage look and still want the cast to be reinforced, you can add the plaster casting stone to the inside of the cast instead.
Gesso white acrylic primer (semi-matte) prepares the cast for painting by providing "tooth" for the paint (acrylics, oils, Tempera and others). It will also create an even smoother surface, will further strengthen as well as seal the cast. [Water-Based, Non-Toxic, Non-Flammable]
The Luna Bean Belly Balm is made of all-natural ingredients: unrefined African shea butter, sweet almond oil, lavender & orange essential oils and vitamin E. It is easily washed from mom’s skin once her belly cast has been removed or she can allow it to be absorb into her skin. It does not make a big mess by transferring to the inside of the belly cast (as does Vaseline), but yet provides the same excellent barrier protection!
*All plaster bandages are certainly not created equal and we are pleased to supply the very best quality plaster bandages on the market. We have tried other brands that promise the same quality, but we feel there is no comparison and do not want to sell less than the best quality materials. The bandages supplied in our kits contain a generous amount of plaster thereby making it easier to work with and providing a very strong cast.
*The casting material contained in the bandages is made from 100% natural materials and is non-toxic and safe to use on mom's skin. Further, there is no noticeable heat reaction when applied to mom's skin, unlike standard plaster of paris.
