OOoh you reminded me.... Duct tape Rolls and rolls of it....

When bandaging a horse leg Diapers are good as bandages too.... Diaper Vetwrap and duct tape.... for an abscessed foot after an epsom salts soak.

Ooh epsom salts too for soaking bumble foot Then gause and vetwrap....

Epsom salts lefovers are excellent for trees and shrubs.... So no need to pour it someplace other than the garden.

Yep but the cheap kind that are all cotton on the outside.... Those Carefree things wouldnt be good.

Plain Cotton Tampons too.... Dad used to use those to spread Blue die on aluminum before scoring out a pattern.

They would be a good substitute for a dauber for Blue coat too.
