What Is the Shield Suitable For?

Important Painting Tips
Please note that you will need to add the design to the shield yourself. To ensure the durability of the paintwork, we recommend using oil-based paints. After completing the painting, allow the paint to dry thoroughly to prevent any flaking during use. If you need tips or advice on painting techniques, we are more than happy to provide support!
Caring for Your New Shield
Whether you paint the shield or not, proper care will extend its lifespan:
- Regular Maintenance: Wipe the shield clean of dirt after each use. To maintain the flexibility of the PUR foam, apply a thin layer of silicone oil or spray, especially to the edges and the back (avoid fresh or incompatible paintwork).
- Store Correctly: Keep the shield in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Avoid Deformation: Do not store the shield under heavy objects.
Safety First
- Use Only with LARP Weapons: This shield is designed and tested exclusively for use with padded LARP weapons (e.g., latex weapons, foam weapons).
- !!! IMPORTANT WARNING !!!: Never use this shield against wooden, metal, rattan, or other hard or sharp weapons. Doing so could damage the shield's surface and, most importantly, it is unsafe!
- Pre-Use Check: Inspect the shield's condition before each event.
