TOUGH PROTECTION FOR TOUGH PROJECTS – Like to get your hands dirty, but not your wounds? A new plaster combines toughness with waterproof properties and high-comfort. Extra strong protection in even the toughest of DIY situations.

 

So, finally James Bunton (36) was going to tackle that tree house in the garden for the boys. He had already gone and gotten the wooden planks. Now it was just him against time: He had two weekends to finish the project in time for the birthday of his eldest son.

One Saturday James Bunton got down to it: Assembling, hammering, drilling. It was fun. It started to rain. He didn’t even mind. But suddenly…one of the longer nails went into his left thumb and he was afraid he had to abort the whole mission. The wound bled and hurt like hell.

TOUGH JOBS NEW NEAT PLASTER

James Bunton knew: Not only a well-equipped tool kit is essential to get a job done smoothly – the right plaster is, too. So he tried Elastoplast EXTRA TOUGH WATERPROOF. And yes, not only did it protect his wound and allow him to continue. It also still stuck at the end of the day. Even when he washed his dirty hands later on. He had gotten a lot done, and hadn’t even noticed he had been wearing a plaster. His son’s birthday surprise was saved, after all.
