Foam on Glassfiber Core

This Epic Armoury's Foam on Glassfiber Core is one of our DIY products used to create your own Live Action Role Playing weapon, while still benefiting from the safety of an Epic Armoury blade. The 8mm Ø glass-fiber core is 75 cm long and is strong, flexible and fitted with our Kevlar Tip protection to prevent potential accidents. A 60cm long foam block is securely fastened around the core, leaving a 15 cm gap at the end of the core for the handle. The block is 5 cm across and 2.5 cm tall, and is made from closed-celled foam that feels soft, light and durable.

• Available in 75cm, 85cm, 110cm, 140cm, and 180cm length

Directions for use:

There are multiple methods to create your own LARP weapon, but this is one basic method! Carefully carve the foam block into your desired weapon shape using a knife or sandpaper. Remember to leave a safe amount of foam around the core in order to preserve its safety! When the shape you desire is achieved, clean (and dry!) and dip the weapon into latex. Allow the latex to dry between layers for a smooth, protective surface.

Coat your latex equipment with a thin layer of silicone to prevent the surface from drying out, and to prolong the lifespan of your weapon. Always check your weapon for damage before and after each use. Wrap the handle with leather or cloth for a finished look.
