Wow. 
I don't think I have ever been that far into the bog... Maybe once when I got lost late at night during my first War.

Re: ABS plastic for a globose breastplate
I made an ABS 1 piece globose by pressing the plastic into a mold. I used 1/8" sheet - I'm sure I could do it again with 3/16".

Hard to know if these are stains or active mold. I suppose since there is nothing to brush off, it is probably a stain at this point. Pushes me toward the lemon juice option to bleach out the residue.
Thanks!

Hi All- So I've got a Revival.us round pavilion. The walls don't come off, so it is very difficult to get a good air flow inside - this is important...

I recently purchased a used Mandrake 2" tip. It didn't come with foam or the taping instructions. Could someone please post a synopsis of the foam dimensions and the taping instructions - I don't want to get to Pennsic and have the spear bounced at inspection.

I use a Baldar black plastic boss cut in half and raised up on spacers. Cover the back of the shield with black felt and it all but disappears.
It's not a period solution, but my fingers will never be broken.
