Flat Packed Traffic Cone
How to make a flat packed traffic cone.
What Do We Need
The required materials:
- a polystyrene plate 50 x 50 cm (thickness 2 mm)
- reflex tape, self-adhesive white & red (width 2 mm)
length white: 4.5 m
length red: 0.5 m
The required tools:
- a meter
- a pencil
- a handsaw
- a buzz saw
- sandpaper
The Outlining of Your Shape and the Sawing
Draw the correct shape as shown (picture1) and cut out the shape with a handsaw.
Do this two times so you have the same form twice.
In the middle of each plate you must become a cut with 2 mm wide.
This is done best with a circular saw, with the first plate you start from the top to the middle, with the second plate you start from the bottom to the middle.
Apply the Strips of Reflective Tape
Make sure you stick the tape right, work from bottom to top, 6 cm tape, 6 cm nothing, 6 cm tape, ...
(do not forget the back).
For the upper top you use the red tape.
