Good Morning,
This Kingdom has a long history with the fiberglass and not that
extensive with siloflex.
Fiberglass lasts a very long time and if you use UHMW heads with
siloflex APDs you only need to replace the 1" of foam and tape
every few years. The Baldar Blunts and Asgard APDs are a good easy
way to start but quite expensive and don't last the same time.
Since you are up North you may want to look at siloflex if you play
with Calontir. That is the only thing they allow there and I believe
the only shaft allowed at Lillies war.
Btw, right now we don't allow siloflex in this Kingdom but I'm trying
to get that rectified during January if I can get the Earl Marshal and
Crown to sign off on the new rules. We just did a big rewrite to fix a
lot of mistakes in the current rules as well as update a few items
such as allowing siloflex.
Ciao,
