What was that Dr Who in Tom Baker where the Dr and IIRC Romana (maybe Leela) were tied up with vines which would shrink as they drived and stretch them (people not the vines)?
The Dr sang out a high note (which caused Romana/whoever to tell him off as it didn't hurt that much so soon). However what he did was cause a glass skylight to break letting in rain onto the vines which then went soggy and slack.
B&Q now sell fur covered cable ties.
Sleeve / straight glass I assume - I expect the handle on the jug might make getting it inserted in the first place!
(any glass shape that has a point where it narrows toward the exit (e.g. just after the bulge on a straight glass) will hold plaster and hence the rope captive.
That thickness of plaster would get quite hot as it sets!
As the Beatles once said: "Happiness is a warm bum".
Or something.
I think they got that from somewhere else.
Gay Gunners of Georgia or something.
That ought to teach em ;-)
(I presume the stuff they use for plaster casts is not just "normal" plaster of paris? Since that is very exothermic in significant quantities)
Not safe for work, or those of a delicate nature.
They did. And they said so.
Having read the description, I'm not pressing play.
Owain
It always used to be Plaster of Paris impregnated bandages, which were great for modelling landscape on a model railway; just dip in water and drape over crumpled newspaper. IIRC, for plaster casts there was a layer of plain gauze and / or cotton wool applied first. These days the bandage seems to be resin impregnated.
I suspect that is a good move, I didn't press play either.
I did and really, I'd rather I hadn't.
