fiberglass casting tape

Water-activated casting tapes described here are stretchable for good conformability, porous to allow skin breathing, lightweight, and use a water-activated resin that lets the applier control working and set time while producing a durable, strong cast.

Typical set times reported are about 3–5 minutes, with casts described as becoming weight-bearing at roughly 20 minutes.

Drywall and repair products in this group often come as self-adhesive fiberglass mesh or peel-and-stick patches. Medical casting tapes in these results use a water-activated (nontacky) resin rather than a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Drywall options are sold as long rolls of self-adhesive fiberglass mesh (examples include 300 ft rolls) and as small peel-and-stick fiberglass-reinforced patches (examples include 4" x 4" patches).

Colors and finishes shown include pink, black, blue, and clear (transparent) for filament/strapping tapes, with white typically shown for mesh and patch products.
