Ian McKay Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Hi Guys I can fix a broken leg a lot quicker than your idea's You require 1 roll of Plaster of Paris bandage Cotton wool Saucer with small amount of water Plan Cut the plaster bandage into quarter inch stripsLightly coat the leg which you set in cotton wool (its to stop plaster sticking to leg)Dip quarter inch strips into water lift out immediately wrap it over cotton wool pulling it reasonably tightIt takes a few seconds to harden build it up till you have a nice plaster boot exactely as a hospital does with a broken arm or leg I have been using it for 30 yrs never failed bird will walk on leg within daysPlaster bandage available on E-Bay 1 roll will last a long time provided it is kept in house and DRY Hope this helps Ian
