You can use your shield against your opponent's weapon or shield, but NOT their body (groin, arm, trunk, groin, head, groin, etc)

I used a thick coat of watered down elmers wood glue and a wide brush. Lotts on the AL, laid down the canvas, lotts more on top. Stays on great and has a solid shell now. Was easy to paint. Hasn't ripped yet (did it in Jan!).
