Step 4: Stockinette

1. Measure the length of stockinette needed. It should extend 3-4 cm beyond the area to be cast at each end.

2. Using your own palm length as a guide, determine where the thumb hole is to be cut.

3. At this location, cut a slit in the stockinette large enough to give the base of the thumb lots of space.

4. Roll the stockinette over the area to be casted and smooth it out.

Never apply plaster to skin or stockinette alone!
