Physically it's easy, just wrap (wet) plaster sheets around the area to be stabilized.

Fixing the fracture and knowing how tight to wrap and how far to extend it take a wee bit of training.

putting on a cast involves three items. they are a stockinette, cotton wrap and the casting material.

you first pull the stockinette over the broken area. this is usually a thin white tube that comes in a long roll and can be cut to length. slits in it can be made for thumbs or to mold around ankle area etc. next you will wrap the area with the casting wrap. it once again is usally white and made of a cotton blend. it comes in various sizes like 2in (good for the wrist/arm) 3in (used on lowere legs/etc) 4 and 5 in. this helps keep the cast nice and soft. then comes the fiberglass casting material. it comes in all colors and widths.

all these can be found on line and ordered. use a white sock for a cheap stockinette and cotton found at Walgreen's for the wrap. gauze around that will keep it in place . then just apply a clean coat of casting material! instant cast
