Oh my God NO NO NO!!! A couple of years ago some high school kids were
playing around with plaster and put their hand in a bucket of it--by the
time the heat started going they couldn't remove their hand and one boy
lost 2 fingers. I realize that you wouldn't be using that much plaster
that thick, but it generates a lot of heat. Better to go with the plaster
gauze strips even tho they cost more.
