If you fence foil or sabre, you'll know just how much wear and tear the average lamé takes in regular use,
and how long it's likely to last. If you're armourer for a club, you'll be even more aware of the limited life expectancy
of the average lamé.
When a lamé develops dead spots, your choices are limited; either you discard the lamé, or you patch it,
or you live with it. Patching works - it's cheaper than a new lame, but it's still expensive. You either
cannibalize another lamé or you buy fabric. Either way, it can be expensive.
Now there's a low cost alternative - conductive thread. I did the research, tested in our local club, and would like to share the
benefits we've gleaned with you.
