• Hot water is the recommended method of softening Kay- Splint for cutting and forming. Monitoring water temperature with thermometer is essential to maintaining optimal working temperature. A pan liner may be used to help prevent overheating and sticking.

  Adjustments can be made on completed splints by spot heating with a heat gun or by briefly dipping the part requiring modification into heated water, then reforming
