Re: BAND GOT WET........HELP!!

[Guest guest]

If you really sluice it out with 90% alcohol, it should help the

water evaporate out. You can also use a hair dryer on low, or if you

still have sun, try to let it sit in the sun for a little while. You

might want to call your ortho to make sure.

How is the muddy li'l guy? Hope you got a picture!

Hi Kelli

I would suggest the same as what Natasha said. I would call the

ortho and make sure it's ok.
