its a sound engineering theory, however the only experience ive had with heat formed pvc was to give the blade a curve to make more eastern style weapons. The reason we utilize Fiberglass over pvc is that it is stronger, more rigid, of similar price depending on where you get it. If you have PVC and you have time, you may as well try, if nothing else it fails, you learned something, and hopefully practiced your blade making skills (yes, it does require skill, ive coached a lot of fighters who cant seem to cut a straight line in the foam.
