Rip Guf asked if I could make a Frisbee so it gave me a chance to use some more of my favourite pizza trays.
I marked out 4 disks and then marked 3 of them into hoops.
Cut them all out.
Stuck them together with contact adhesive *
* I checked first to see if it dissolved the polystyrene
as that could be a disaster but although it etched the
surface a bit, it seemed OK so I used it.
I trimmed the edges with a sharp blade to round them.**
** Sandpaper would probably be OK if you have some.
Finally I put some sticky backed plastic on the top to
make it more visually appealing. This is optional.
Main Components
-
4 x Polystyrene Pizza tray
Contact adhesive - check if it dissolves the polystyrene.
If it does, use something else
optional - colourful sticky backed plastic
Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.
Main Tools
-
Utility knife
optional - sandpaper
