A plaster (band-aid for you americans out there) only for finger wrappage, with a thin cord running through the middle (or maybe one through each side) that can be tightened so that your plaster will not constantly need to be undone/redone tighter every time it comes a bit loose. And that's my idea. Roll on the fishbones! No seriously, give me a croissant.-- modular, Sep 08 2003 Yeah, i think this is an excellent idea. Well done, stranger. Hehehe...-- modular, Sep 08 2003 give you a + for that piece of silliness even though I loathe plasters and all I keep thinking about are tourniquets.-- po, Sep 08 2003 Put a piece of shrink tubing over the offending plaster. Then hold finger over a candle until the tubing shrinks. Band aid will never loosen again. (Keep glass with icewater at hand.)-- kbecker, Sep 08 2003 Around here, we use drywall.-- RayfordSteele, Sep 10 2003 No, not *maybe* one through each side, *definitely*! Through the middle is bad.
Never heard "plaster" before though. Nooo, I've been ignorantly using an americanism all these years!-- RoboBust, Sep 11 2003 band-aids for scrapes an' such, duct tape for open cuts.-- Freefall, Sep 11 2003 So if the injury starts jetting blood, just yank on the cord and youve got an instant tourniquet.-- pluterday, Sep 11 2003 Plaster is an Irishism, [Robobust], so if you aren't Irish, maybe you are using the acceptable term.-- modular, Sep 14 2003 Oh! That's a relief.-- RoboBust, Sep 14 2003 And earlier "...from Old English, medical dressing, and from Old French plastre, cementing material...", therefore the name plaster of Paris.-- FarmerJohn, Sep 14 2003 random, halfbakery
