Plaster bandages are used in LifeCasting when doing layup molds like faces, heads and torsos. Since alginate in thin cross sections is very "floppy", it is necessary to put several layers of plaster bandages on the outside of the alginate so the mold holds its shape during casting.

Extra fast set bandages set hard in 4-5 minutes. Available in 3 inch or 4 inch wide rolls- 5 yards (15 feet) long.
