DIY & Weapon Maintenance
The stuff you need to keep your gear out of the scrap heap.
Let's be real: LARP gear is expensive, and the field is a brutal place for it. Between the rain, the sun, and getting hit a thousand times, even the best sword is going to show its age. This collection isn't the "exciting" part of the shop, but it is the most important for your wallet. We’ve put together the same tools and raw materials we use in our own workshop so you can keep your kit in the game or build something unique from scratch.
Whether you're trying to save a favorite blade from cracking or you're finally starting that custom project, this is where you find the "bones" and the protection to make sure your gear stays event-legal.
Don't Let it Crack: Foam Weapon Maintenance
If you’re using your gear properly, it’s going to face the elements. The sun and the dirt are the biggest enemies here; they dry out the latex coating until it gets brittle. Once it starts cracking, you’re basically waiting for a failed safety check.
The only thing you actually need is our Protection Gel. We use this 100% silicone formula on every weapon we make. A quick wipe-down after an event stops the foam from drying out and keeps the latex supple. It’s the easiest way to make sure your favorite blade stays in the fight for another season.
-
Save Your Gear: Regular care stops the latex from getting brittle, which means you aren't stuck buying a new sword every single year.
-
Beat the Weather: A quick silicone layer helps shed water and grime. It keeps your weapon from getting heavy or waterlogged when the field turns into a swamp.
-
Pass Safety Every Time: A well-cared-for weapon is a safe weapon. Keeping the outer layer healthy is the best way to make sure you breeze through the safety-check table.
The Maker’s Bench: DIY Weaponry
There’s a different kind of pride in walking onto the field with a weapon you built yourself. Our DIY Weaponry section is for the folks who want a specific look that you just can't find on a shelf. We provide the same fiberglass cores and high-density foams we use in our own production so you don't have to guess if your build is safe.
If you're swapping a hilt or starting a build from a raw rod, we’ve got the parts. Using the right materials means your custom creation won't just look the part; it’ll actually behave like a weapon and stay straight strike after strike.
-
The Right Cores: These are the same fiberglass rods found in our main lines. They give your DIY project the right balance of flex and strength so it doesn't feel like a toy.
-
Raw Parts for Custom Kits: From foam blocks to pre-made hilts, we give you the foundations to build your own silhouette without the guesswork.
-
No More Pool Noodles: Avoid the DIY disaster of a floppy weapon by using the same cores and foams the pros use.
A Pro-Tip for the Long Haul
Maintenance doesn’t have to be a chore. Think of it like cleaning your boots, it’s just what you do if you want them to last. We always suggest a quick "clean and coat" after any event where things got muddy or sweaty. For the DIY crowd, just remember: a safe weapon starts with a solid core and a protected tip.
