skycat 6,174 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 You'd probably be just as well holding it together with steristrips: or just cut bits of elastoplast into strips and hold the cut together while you stick the strips across it. Then wrap up well with more plaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
