Looking for a good shield edging, I saw some at Pennsic, but I don't know what it was called. It was some type of aluminum covered with plastic or rubber. Does anyone know what this is?

I know alot of guys around here that use car door edging to edge there aluminum shields. is that what you are using it for? if so, you shoud be able to get it at your local auto parts store. i don't know the perticular brand name. sorry

it was most likely a T6 aluminium shield with somehting called heater hose on. form what little i know about SCA shields, it is the hose found in and around your engine. correct me if i'm wrong.

i heard that garden hose with a slice in it then attached to the edge with leather laces, or what ever, works. i don't know if this is what you are talking about tho, and i haven't tried this method myself

Car door edging is a fine addition to the impact edge of a shield. A light hose, then a securely canvased cover over the whole and you have a nifty shield with no embarrassing hoses hanging all over it.

Many years ago Sir Ariel and I purchased some conveyer belt impact edging from Granger. Its basically a heavier gauge version of the car door edging. Just recently the edge I put on my shield in 1992 has begun to split on the top. Not a bad run...

Hard to find, but Granger should still carry it.
