Where to buy fiberglass tape (the kind used to make casts)?!


Question: Do you know where I would find rolls of fiberglass tape? I know there are places on the internet but I only need like 2 rolls so paying shipping is pointless. What kind of stores would sell it?

Go to Walmat that's where I got mine from when I faked my arm broke @ school

harware store

try a medical supply store..they sell pretty much anything in the medical field..

Most craft stores such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby will care this.

I don't think it is fiberglass, I believe it is some kind of plaster so if you are having trouble finding it, It may be that you are calling it the wrong thing.

look for a medical supply store in your area

They don't use fiberglass anymore....you can get fiber mesh rolls at your local hardware store or you can improvise with a roll of mesh from a muffler repair kit at your nearest auto parts store. Casts are made from a roll of mesh cloth and plaster of paris. It really doesn't matter what you make it out of. The whole idea is to set the bone properly, put it in a position that doesn't strain the break and then hold it there firmly for at least six months. You could even make one out of an ace bandage. Just make sure that if you cast an ace bandage that you make it loose enough that it won't cut off circulation. Your real problem will be how to cut it off six months later when the bone is healed without cutting the skin too.
If you're looking for fiberglass for some other reason, you can find it at the auto body repair shop or a marine supply store. look for a small fiberglass boat repair kit.
