So, how do I make a larpsafe tentacle? Is there a recommended material? And a recommended length to prevent it being too whippy?
The natural options seem to be pipe lagging (which is probably too flexible) and pool noodle (which is the opposite), tipped with camp-mat or open cell in the desired shape. But I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s done it before before I jump in and make something potentially unsafe.
(Propnomicon’s instructions on decorative tentacles has good guidance on making them look good, and there’s another post on adding suckers, though they might not withstand combat)
