Upper extremity injuries require ~8–10 layers of plaster, lower extremity ~10–12 layers.

2.Add water and eliminate excess by “milking” between fingers. Place on hard surface to remove wrinkles/ensure even saturation of all layers (See Figs. 6.7, 6.8, and 6.9).

3.Apply splint. Fold stockinette/padding back to create smooth edges, and mold to contours of extremity to facilitate/maintain “reduction” and ensure strict immobilization (implement three-point fixation ) (See Figs. 6.10 and 6.11)

**Mold with palms only, three-point fixation to maintain reduction.**
