Elastoplast & Soup sent me a super large plaster, to test it's waterproofness. I took it along to the wino mother's group with all great intentions - I was going to 'borrow' someones phone, wrap it up in the giant plaster, and throw it in the bay! I'm not going to say I chickened out, but an opportunity didn't present itself, so it didn't happen. We looked at some Elastoplast samples and talked about times we've really needed plasters to be waterproof, but then just got distracted and before you knew it, the sun had gone down.
I started thinking of new uses for the giant plaster. Here I am sizing up Mr BC's back for waxing.
Or perhaps his face? He's started growing a beard. So gross.
Finally, I had it - I would test it's waterproofness by wrapping up Mr Shiny Red Macca's toy in a face washer, then wrapping it in the plaster. You can tell if the facewasher is wet because it will change colour - no, not Hypercolour, it will just go darker!
This is the closest thing to a pool we have. Although if you could shrink yourself to swim in it you might have an encounter with a Swamp Creature, look how overgrown that pond weed is! Who is in charge of cleaning this? Oh, me. Well then....
Just tossing the parcel didn't seem like much of a test, it just sits on all that pond weed.
So, I hosed it.
And when I unwrapped it, look! Dry as a bone! Except that corner where I didn't wrap it properly.
Mr Shiny Red Macca's toy survives to be on Swamp Creature alert.
