Orfit Orficasto Thermoplastic Tape, 1 X 9 (Black)

So needed to cast a finger to hold it straight after surgery. Hot water from the tap was not working, close to boiling did the trick to start it to stick together. Careful not to burn skin so when touchable after dipping it in a cup of boiled water, then on a towl to dry some it wraped up and stuck together and hold it to harden like a molded cast. Wet and in the microwave worked as well but test 15 seconds, 30 burnt the skin so use caution. tweezers or that sort of thing. Wish it would stay pliable longer cooler. have to be careful.

You can easily make several finger casts out of this. It's even been useful for creative types of repairs. My doctor saw this and was amazed it was available on Amazon. I wish I'd found this stuff sooner it's the best

My PT was impressed I found this online, I couldn't get in to get a brace for an injury for weeks and I kept making it worse. I found this, made my own cast (you can even reheat it and hone your design) and it worked amazingly well! It hardens like a cast, but since there's no cotton inside you can get it wet. It takes a while to dry, but it still helped me a ton (I just made two braces so I could wash and air dry them in turns).

Cute and bright. Hard to keep closed, rip easily. Might do better with double sided tape.

I'm an Occupational Therapist. This was the first time I had seen this and used it. I ordered it to make a splint/guard for my husband's finger to help protect him from hitting/bumping it after he had to have it surgically pinned for 6 weeks. This can be heated with a heat gun, molded, and cooled. It can be re-heated to make adjustments. You do need to make sure layers melt together and cool completely for curing/hardening to become fully effective. More layers makes it thicker and sturdier; however, you do NOT need more the 1-2 overlapping layers to make it harden and sturdy...just heat, hold/mild, and cool so that the fibers within the product melt together.
