Smoothing & Shaping after Plaster Additions from Joe Vasquez on Vimeo.

  • Concentrating on “feel” during this step. Trying to follow the general topography of the foot.
  • Here we are also trying to create good shapes and contours, especially transitions from one area to another. For instance, the transition from the distal medial calcaneous into the proximal arch is an area that I don’t want to be abrupt.
  • At this step as well as the next, some of the added plaster comes off. If it looked like a lot of plaster was added in the previous video, here is where some of it comes off.
  • The next step will be filing the cast after it dries for about thirty minutes. In the filing process, the shapes and contours are fine tuned even more.
