More history

Building the blade
Cut "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) into a belt form.

Put "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) side by side.

Paste them

"Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) is sold in only Japan.
It's harder than Drawing paper. The thickness is about 0.5mm.
I'm sure you can't get it.
Then, substitute various thin plastic sheets.

I finished glueing.

Cut material into the Templates form.
Cut out "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).

Use a Iron gardening stick(diameter 1.1cm).
Use it as a core.
Cut it wit Freeway coping saw, pliers, nippers, diamond files, etc.
This stick is just a iron stick.
You can substitute various metalic sticks.

園芸用の棒は一応Amazonでも売ってるが異常に高い、ホームセンターや100均で買った方が良い。

I finished cutting.

Peel with a Box cutter etc to easily bend.

Bend Iron gardening stick by hand.

Glue with a Liquid super glue.
When you use a Super glue Accelerator, Hardening speed becomes fast.
(Smoke may be generated. Don't breathe in the smoke and don't put in eyes.)

Super glue can glue a large surfaces easily.
But it can't glue a small surface such as this photo well

Then you should use a following spray.
I always use this.
Watch video.

Super glue accelerator
This can glue surfaces in several seconds.
When you use 100ml, you can make a armorset or about three weapons.
←100ml ←420ml

About super glue
I use general liquid super glue.

Glue with a Liquid super glue.

I finished glueing.

Glue edges of the blade.
Glue with "Bond G17"(one of sticky glue in Japan). Detailed process is here.
Paint it with a broken piece of "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) as a brush.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.

I finished glueing.

Reinforce the blade by applying Liquid super glue on the edge.

Fill the back of blade with a Hot melt(glue gun).

ギャクヨガが愛用しているグルーガンです、口が広くてとても使いやすい！

Stroke the back of blade with a tip of Hot melt(glue gun), then the surface becomes flat.

Cut out "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).

Glue it the back.
Glue with a Liquid super glue.

EVA foam is soft material.
You can process it easily.
Other names are EVA board, EVA zote, Craft foam etc.

Painting
Begin painting.
At first, paint undercoat on EVA foam.
The effects are as follows.

-Color becomes well.
-It becomes hard to come off.
-Gloss comes out well.
-You can save quantity of the paint.

1.Gesso
This is easy.

【Merit】
-It's usable just to paint with a paint brush.
-Gesso don't contain thinner, then you can use it in the room.
-You can use also Acrylic paint.
-There are several colors one, white black etc.

【Demerit】
-It's easy to come off than Thinned "Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan).
Then, use this for weapons and armors without moving parts.
-The gross is smaller than Thinned "Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan).

【Commodities　page】

2.Wood glue thinned with water
This is so easy.

【Merit】
-Someone can get
-Someone can use easy

【Demerit】

3."Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan)
This is difficult, however it's almighty.

【Merit】
-It'st hard to peel off.
-It can use for PVC pipe or plastic sheets.

【Demerit】
-"Bond G17" is japanese commodity.
Then you can't get it easily.
Please use others. For example, you can substitute wood glue for it.
-You must thin it with lacquer thinner.
-It needs thinner, then you must work outdoors.
-It burns easily.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.
The parts will be charred in seconds.
