If I had a (sledge-, or War-)hammer
I'd put a little sign on it that read:
'Complaint department'
And put it by my station at work.

In a tardy attempt to drag this thread, kicking and screaming, back into the realm of things tactile.
I've been looking at various LARP type prop making sites and note that as far as weapons are concerned, the general recommendation
is to coat stuff with liquid latex and some sort of propriatory sealant.
Now, my question is, what purpose is served by this treatment?
Is it just to smooth out the surface of coarse grained foams to give a more realistic finish?
Does it make the thing more durable when used by LARPers to beat the crap out of each other?
Or, What?
Given that my props are seen from a standard audience distance of over 10m from the stage, do I need to go to the trouble?
My cast will be made very clear on the point of not using my stuff to beat the crap out of each other.
On a different but related note, are LARP weapons covered by any kind of safety standards when put to their intended use?(See 'durability' point above.)
The inquisitive,
Dr. Q.

As I understand it - both purposes - the latex layer provides a smooth finish, is more durable than the raw foam, and takes paint better. |
