The Epic Armoury Glassfiber Core is a do-it-yourself (DIY) product designed for creating your own Live Action Role Playing (LARP) weapon while maintaining the safety standards of an Epic Armoury blade. This glass-fibre core has a diameter of 8mm and a length of 80 cm, offering strength and flexibility. Here are some basic directions for using the product: 1. Carve closed-cell foam into the desired shape of your weapon, ensuring it fits securely around a clean and sanded Glassfiber Core. The use of sanding improves the grip of the glue and enhances the overall durability of your weapon. Remember to leave sufficient foam around the core to maintain safety. 2. Once you have achieved the desired shape, dip the weapon into latex and allow it to dry between layers. Applying multiple layers of latex will result in a smooth and protective surface. Ensure each layer is fully dried before applying the next. 3. To prevent the latex surface from drying out and extend your weapon's lifespan, coat it with a thin layer of silicone. This will help maintain the flexibility and longevity of the latex. 4. Always inspect your weapon for any signs of damage before and after each use. It is important to address any issues or repairs promptly to ensure the safety of all participants. 5. For a finished look, wrap the handle of your weapon with leather or cloth, adding a touch of aesthetic appeal to your creation. Remember to follow safety guidelines and best practices while crafting and using your LARP weapon. Enjoy the process of customizing your weapon and have a fantastic LARP experience!

Maintenance

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the LARP Accessories section. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel--NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
