Hi everyone,
A recent trip that could have done with a plaster jacket got me thinking.
Can you use seawater to mix up your plaster for a field jacket on remote coastal outcrops to save carrying in freshwater?
I asked Google, but thought I’d ask everyone here who has many many years collectively of jacketing experience.
A few articles I could find say salt speeds up the setting of plaster but salt will also make the plaster disintegrate quickly afterwards. So maybe alright in a pinch for a temporary jacket? Or should I be lugging in freshwater? Often there is a creek nearby, but good to know the options!
Thanks.
