>         Kate What is "VetWrap" and where can it be purchased? 

    I'm not Kate, but I can help. VetWrap is a bandage that's used in
    both the sports medicine field and in the veterinary field. It's a
    sort of sticky gauze that only sticks to itself--it has no actual
    adhesive. VetWrap is obviously the name of the product used for
    animals, but the human-use equivalent is 3M Coban. Both things are
    exactly the same stuff, with different names. Coban costs about four
    more than Vetwrap, however, probably for insurance billing purposes
    or some other such silly reason. 

    You can get VetWrap quite inexpensively from most animal medical
    supply catalogs. I get mine from "The Greyhound Supply Store" in
    Abilene, Kansas.
    http://greyhoundsupply.com/s-cart/product.phtml?ProdID=VW2-882 For a
    roll that's 2 inches wide, it's about $1.25 a roll plus shipping.
    For jewelry shop use, one roll will last a long time. And I think if
    you just order one roll of VetWrap, they might be convinced to simply
    mail it to you rather than using UPS or some such, to keep shipping
    costs to a minimum.
