Materials you
will need:
- 12 inch
sections of 100 psi 1” diameter Siloflex. One five foot stick will
make you 5 maces!
- PVC pipe
cutters or hacksaw.
- Leather
punch or drill.
-
Polypropylene cord of 1/8” diameter or less. Poly cord works best.
Nylon stretches and likes to untie itself. It can be helpful to sear
the ends of the poly cord to make the tying easier.
- 5 tennis
balls for each Mace you want to make. Don’t buy these new: get used
“dead” ones from your local tennis club or gym. These actually work
better as they have more give and are available by the hundreds as
they are discarded.
- Roll of
1” wide monofilament strapping tape. Please do not use cheap strapping
tape: Scotch “3M” is highly recommended. If you use cheap strapping
tape you can save a few dimes at the cash register, but your Maces
will quickly fail and you will need to restrap
them.
- Roll of
duct tape, your choice of color.
- Scissor
and single edged razor for trimming.
-
Label, marking pen and clear packing tape to label your Throwing Mace.
