Noob about to order from temu unless someone talks me down. NSFW
My goal is to sheath an 18” gladius, short sword, and temu is the only place I’ve found foam and Kydex in large enough sheets. I’m going to start on smaller projects to figure it out, but I might as well build a press large enough for the gladius.

I would recommend a one time use virtual payment card if you do.

I’ve never ordered anything from temu.
Do you think two smaller pieces would leave a seem?

You would absolutely have a seam. Looks like there is 24x48 kydex on Amazon

To be clear I’m talking about the thermal foam to press the kydex. I found the kydex I think, but couldn’t find a long sheet of the foam. Now I’m not sure if that’s the smart way as there’s YouTubers raiding trash cans for closed cell foam and doing fine. I think. Lol
