I think there might be enough medical professionals on here that can answer my question.
Does the thermoplastic that is used to make a custom splint retain its shape or would it re-form after getting warm again?
I have a really sensitive finger I guess and it seems like I get hot curls from dry wood coming right back onto the side of my index finger. I don't want to use a glove but I thought maybe if I made a little shield out of that stuff and slipped it over my finger leaving the backside open but held together with something fairly weak like masking tape so my finger wouldn't get ripped off in the event of a catch.
Or I'm open to other ideas if anyone has them. I guess there is always the farmers fix all. (black electricians tape)
