Question:

Can You Get A Fencing Sword Wet???

Hey im sell a electric fencing sword wet because I just cleaned it with water because im selling it on OKorder.

Answer:

no that is a really bad idea, unless it specifically says that it can get wet you shouldn't get it wet. you should probably test it to make sure it works before you sell it because the water might if messed it up
Getting any electrical equipment wet with water is a bad idea. The water hastens corrosion, and if it is still wet when it is plugged in, the resulting short-circuit can damage it and other electrical equipment further. If the weapon is an epee or foil, the barrel of the tip will hold the water and rust the spring(s) and contacts. In the future, the best way to clean a weapon is to wipe off any dirt or salt with a clean, damp cloth and dry it immediately. Use a Scotch Brite pad or equivalent to gently remove any rust or scale from the blade, being careful not to damage the wires and insulation in the groove. To keep rust off the blade, wipe the blade with a light coating of machine or gun oil, a paste wax, or silicon car wax. Keep blades away from sweaty jackets, etc. Colored blades, FIE-rated blades, and maraging blades rust less than regular steel because they are either coated with an anodyne (in the case of colored blades) or are made of an alloy that is rust resistant.
