Once you are done paper maching you can start adding coats of glue making sure to let them completely dry before adding the next. I think I added like 15 coats of wood glue to my scythe which ended up cutting my leg open lol so I don't think it requires so many ::though it did survive countless bumps without any signs of damage::. With other props I usually only add 4 to 5.
Apparently a good method for making props is to carve them out of insulation foam.http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=113812 I'm not sure if this is the best option for something thinner like a sword, but straight from the tutorial..QuoteOnce you are done paper maching you can start adding coats of glue making sure to let them completely dry before adding the next.

With other props I usually only add 4 to 5. So it sounds pretty sturdy with enough finishing.
