A school has been ordered to pay £19,000 after a pupil had most of her fingers burned off in an horrific classroom incident.
The 16-year-old girl lost all but two fingers after her hands became fixed in a bucket of plaster of Paris during an art lesson in January 2007. She had not received proper warning while attempting to make a sculpture of her own hands during the lesson at Giles School in Boston.
Neither classmates, staff, nor paramedics could remove her hands as they began to cook from inside the mould at temperatures of up to 60C.
So be warned - NEVER PLACE ANY PART OF THE BODY DIRECTLY INTO PLASTER. Alginate is a skin safe moulding compound that will give beautiful detail & does not give off any heat.
