1. Use cool water
2. Don't over soak the plaster of Paris
3. You can always add water later by dipping your hands and rubbing the plaster gauze.
4. Give it time to dry 24-36 hrs
5. Do not squeegee off any plaster, you need all of it so it sets up nice and strong. Removing any excess will cause problems.
6. Layer the bandages. 1 layer is not enough plaster. If cutting strips, you need to layer a few strips together to get a strong plaster cast.
