Decay studies at the end of the rp-process

The disclosure relates to a water-curable orthopedic bandage on a support spool which bandage can be immediately applied to an affected limb. Supplied in addition to the orthopedic bandage and either separately packaged or provided integral with the spool is an amount of a water-laden gel. The word gel is meant to apply to a viscous semi-solid which can be applied over surfaces in an adherent film and will disperse and move in response to the movement of the practitioner's hands in molding and forming the adhesive bandage around the limb. It is to be distinguished from a free-flowing liquid which when applied to a limb drips and causes the messy environment described above.
