Have you ever made on just using the Vitus or Uncle Olaf method?

I use a slightly modified version of the Vitus tutorial he posted on Armour Archive. I don't seem to have the same luck with Gorilla Glue so I substituted slow cure epoxy.

I haven't fought once a week since the kids started playing sports (and I got sucked into coaching / refereeing / helping). Two kids in football, baseball, wrestling, tennis, softball, basketball and volleyball pretty well eliminates consistent weekly practices with the local SCA crew.
An ideal season for me now consists of three wars, two smaller (1-2 days each) and one larger (9 days). Throw in a handful of practices and that's about it. With this light fighting schedule, I'll have to re-tape and re-Dip twice and completely rebuild once. I could probably let it go much longer, but I'm kind of A.R. and I don't want to be "that guy" who has a spectacular weapon failure on the field. ;)
