ABS offers good impact strength and can be glued to itself with a methane based cement such as Plastic Weld.

When gluing to wood use a good quality PVA, a medium viscosity superglue is good for most other purposes.

Cut with a fine cut razor saw.

To paint, first wash & dry the disc, lightly sand with a medium sandpaper (Flexisanders are good), then use a plastic primer. Finish with an acrylic spray.
