Fiberglass Rods

Fiberglass Rods – extreme rigidity for your props

There are projects that require uncompromising durability. A long, slender blade that must not bend. Massive wings whose frame needs to be both lightweight and incredibly rigid. In such situations, fiberglass rods come into play – an advanced composite material that offers unmatched stiffness at a surprisingly low weight.

When to choose fiberglass rods?

Fiberglass is the choice of professionals who require maximum structural performance. They are the ideal core for:

• Long and thin blades: Want to create a katana, rapier, or another long sword that stays perfectly straight? A fiberglass rod is the only viable solution to prevent your foam blade from bowing.
• Wing skeletons: Low weight and high rigidity make these the best possible supports for building frames for large, expansive wings that must hold their shape.
• Arrows and bolts: Perfect for creating lightweight, straight, and durable projectiles for cosplay bows and crossbows.
• Structural reinforcement: They can be embedded in strategic areas of larger EVA foam builds to provide extra stiffness exactly where it is needed most.

Professional material, professional results

Fiberglass rods are an investment in the durability and reliability of your project. They bond easily with EVA foam using contact adhesives, creating props that look and perform like professional works of art. Remember to always use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a mask and goggles, when cutting them to protect yourself from dust.

Choose fiberglass rods when your project cannot afford even the slightest compromise in terms of rigidity.
