Shape Rod

The Shape Rod is a very strong, heat-bendable rod with the ability to bend up to a full circle when heated. Perfect for maintaining structure in flexible props like bows, katanas, scythes and so on, without making them floppy. Just apply heat to shape it to your needs, and enjoy a robust support.

Should I use a Shape Rod or Fiberglass Rod?

– Heat-Bendable Flexibility: The Shape Rod can be heated and bent up to 180°. Allowing for precise shaping. Perfect for props needing curves or flexibility. Fiberglass rods don’t have this level of adaptability.

– Structure & Support: Shape Rods maintain form and prevent floppiness in curved props like bows or katanas, while fiberglass rods offer rigidity but lack adjustable shaping.

– Durability: Both offer strong support, but fiberglass rods will be stronger in contact based activities like LARP.

This makes the Shape Rod a top choice for flexible, detailed prop work.
