Troubleshooting

Bandages are not sticking properly.

Ensure the bandages are wet enough, and the surface you're applying them to is clean. Overlap the strips sufficiently.

Plaster is cracking after drying.

Apply the bandages in multiple layers, and allow each layer to dry partially before adding the next. Avoid handling the piece until fully dry.

Difficulty getting a smooth finish.

Smooth the wet plaster with your fingers or a wet tool. Sand the dried plaster for a polished result.
