It is our responsibility as a manufacturer to ensure the safety of our products, once the weapon is sold that duty is passed along with it. The owner is responsible for respecting the physical integrity of his companions and taking care of his equipment. Despite the quality of the techniques and materials used, no LARP weapon or accessory is indestructible. Here are a few tips to follow to extend the life of your investment and have fun while staying safe.

LARP Weapons

1. Maintaining Your Weapons to Preserve Their Beautiful Finish

  • To keep your weapons looking their best, we recommend applying a silicone-based lubricant, such as Gig-a-Loo, to the blades. This will reduce friction and prevent the varnish from deteriorating, keeping the finish smooth and intact.
  • You can also spray some Gig-a-Loo inside your scabbards to ensure your weapons slide in and out without causing wear to the varnish.
  • For extra protection, make sure your scabbards or sheaths are lined with fur or velvet. This will help your weapons glide smoothly and maintain their pristine appearance.

2. Enjoy Every Battle Safely

  • When using your weapons, ensure that your movements are controlled. The goal is to have fun while keeping everyone safe, so avoid powerful strikes, especially to the face or head.
  • Take a moment to inspect your weapon before each activity. A well-maintained weapon ensures a better gaming experience!
  • When younger players are involved, make sure they are supervised to ensure they’re enjoying themselves safely.

3. Store Your Weapons for Years of Enjoyment

  • Store your weapons flat, in a clean, open space to protect them. Letting them rest without pressure will extend their lifespan.
  • When not in use, keep your weapons away from extreme temperatures. They’ll appreciate being kept out of the sun or excessive cold, especially in enclosed environments like a car.
  • Preserve your weapons by keeping them away from harsh chemicals like solvents and oils. They’ll thank you by staying in perfect condition.

4. Tips to Fully Enjoy Your Weapons

  • Your weapons are designed to be durable, but they deserve a little care. Handle them properly, and they will offer exceptional performance for a long time.
  • Instead of using them as walking sticks, take full advantage of their flexibility in the activities they were made for. You’ll be surprised by their endurance when used correctly.
  • If repairs are needed, opt for appropriate solutions to ensure the longevity of your weapons. Proper care is the key to enjoying your gear for years to come!

5. Be Equipped for Epic Adventures

  • To fully immerse yourself in your adventures, we recommend always wearing eye protection (safety glasses or a helmet). A simple precaution that allows you to enjoy the action with peace of mind.

Steps of Weapon Inspection

✓ Feel the tip of your weapon strongly and strike a few blows on your bare forearm. If you feel the structure your weapon is not safe do not use it.
✓ Repeat the process for the rest of the blade.
✓ Bend the blade to check the integrity of the structure.
✓ It is strongly advised to inspect your weapon even on the battlefield.
✓ ALWAYS refer to the approval process of your activities.

Leather Accessories

✓ Do not set on fire.
✓ Do not glue or repair leathers with epoxy.
✓ ALWAYS store in a ventilated area and dry the accessory properly.
✓ Do not use it if the product is damaged.
✓ Do not put any weight on the accessories during storage as they may deform.

Repair & Maintenance Methods

✓ You can fill a damaged tip with 100% silicone sealant (follow the merchant’s instructions).
✓ You can repair small cuts with contact adhesive. (follow the merchant’s instructions)
✓ Parts of polyurethane resin — like our molded guards, handles and knobs — can be repaired using cyanoacrylate glue. (follow the merchant’s instructions)
✓ You can wash your weapon with soapy water. Allow to dry well and cover frequently with aerosol silicone. (ex: ji-go-loo))
