1. Heat the brace in an oven or water pan between 67 °C and 85 °C (152°F and 185°F), or in the Turtlebrace heating bag until it becomes soft and elastic.
2. Once the piece has become soft and elastic, wrap the piece around the finger(s).
   – Stretch to piece to cover the finger (s).
   – Cut the excess material, maintain the the two borders together with the Velcro strip, and place the finger in the proper position.
3. When your client finger(s) are in the desired position, wait for the piece to harden. Once harden, the piece will keep its shape until you heated back again. When fused, the piece will remain attached to the brace even if you reheat the full brace.

Make sure that the temperature of the piece is not too hot for comfort or at risk of burning your client before draping.
Do not heat the piece over 100°C (210°F), because the fabric could burn or melt.
If you use a heat gun, be careful not to burn the fabric.
