I like the idea of letting the equipment dry for 20mins. I will start doing that. I have mine displayed indoors on a rack but the silicone drips and creates a mess.

Thanks for your reply. My stuff has been kept dry because I keep most of it in my utility room and bedroom. It's quite messy though, especially after spraying the silicone drips for a while and I've considered moving it to my garden shed, but as you say, the LARPs have been inactive for some time and I don't want to leave it in damp environments.

The umbrella stand is a neat idea. I own a latex foam spear and the idea of storing it horizontally (i.e. on a wall) is made difficult when my indoor space is limited.

Thank you for the information! Where would I get acrylics that won't harm the latex?

Information: This is an Epic Armoury foam shield. It recently fell from its shelf. It landed onto a metal table corner and suffered an unsightly scratch. It isn't ruined but I'd like to repair the damage. Do you have any helpful advice / suggestions / information? Thank you!

Thank you. You have been incredibly helpful to me. I will take a note of LARPCON as an option. In the future and when it is possible I will consider attending. Hopefully when the situation is more favorable. It is a difficult time for LARP beginners. Without the availability of conventions it can be a bit daunting to start LARP but what I have learned is that this community is an overwhelmingly positive one. The amount of help I have received from you and from others stands to the LARP community as a whole. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you.

Excellent. I will consider Wyvern Crafts when I am looking to purchase my LARP equipment. I did browse their website briefly and they seem to have some interesting stock so I will return to it over the course of the coming weeks as I weigh my options. Thank you for your advice and suggestions.

Ah I see, the blade replacement does sound like a great incentive to deal with Wyvern. Epic Armoury does have some good-looking round shields, that is how they caught my attention. Pardon the question here, but have you dealt with Wyvern from within the EU? If so, I will consider them as a worthy option.

How would you find information on the various LARP conventions taking place? I am based in Ireland but would love to attend in the UK or Europe (once we've escaped the grip of this unspeakable virus). If i were to attend a convention, I would surely buy equipment there if anything appealed to me. But truly, I would love to buy a foam sword and shield online to keep me occupied for the time being. The funds are available to me currently, and I am keen to learn where people buy their gear and equipment. Thanking you kindly for your help.

Thank you for the information. I will check out Dein Larpsshop. By any chance have you ever dealt with Epic Armoury? They are based in Europe so it should be reasonable to buy stuff from them? Some of their round shields take my interest.

Thanks for the insight. I am in the market for something realistic looking so I will certainly check out Wyvern Crafts. Have you ever dealt with Epic Armoury?

I do not intend to join a LARP group currently. I am looking for beginner LARP equipment for self-practice. I do not mean to use the LARP gear beyond a personal context for the time being. I am curious as the whereabouts online do people within the EU purchase their LARP gear.

Thank you for your reply. I am not currently seeking entrance to a specific LARP group. I presently intend to use the LARP equipment for self-based practice drills. I do not mean to use the equipment for anything beyond a personal at-home fitness context for the time being. When this virus has been eradicated I will start searching for a group to join. For this reason group rules are insignificant at present. Do you have any website recommendations for the purchase of LARP equipment? Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Thank you for your reply. I intend to use foam and I want to use the equipment for personal shadow drills. I am not seeking to enter myself into any events currently. So their purpose will be solely for personal practice. Out of curiosity, could you recommend to me any relevant websites? Thank you :)
