How long a foam board have you ever made for project? It is super fun to work with foam board for all sorts of creative projects! It light, easy to cut and very versatile color-wise. However, these materials do come with one important caveat that, if you have plastic washers and foam board, can improve your project. Here’s why plastic washers make sense for your foam board projects:
But before we dive further, let’s explain what plastic washers are. Small circular plastic discs. These can sit on screws or nails. If you mount something on the foam board (via a screw or a nail), the plastic washer protects the foam board. The reason this matters is that foam board is prone to being crushed or accidentally torn. The washer distributes the screw or nail pressure across a greater surface area. That essentially means the foam board is only slightly less likely to take damage, which is fantastic for keeping your projects looking pretty!
So the plastic washers not only help protect the foam board, they also help keep stuff where it's supposed to go better. If you’re constructing, say, a display board for a school project or a sign for a special event, you most definitely don’t want it to come apart or wobble around. Plastic washers can be used to help ensure that everything remains precisely where it should be. Your hard work will not then be destroyed this way!
Plastic washers are also very easy to use. All you need are a few simple items: a screw/nail, plastic washer, and your foam board. For the assembly, first set the washer on the screw or nail. Then push it through the foam board and whatever you are sticking it to. After that, just sort of tighten it up. That’s all there is to it! There's no specialization needed, which means that almost anyone can incorporate plastic washers into their projects.
Subcategory of a plastic washer is referred to as a fender washer. This washer is bigger than flat washer, meaning bigger surface area. This can be very helpful when securing a slightly heavier attachment that requires extra support to stay secure. Fender washers help distribute the weight of whatever you attach it to, which is necessary for stability.
And last of all is a special plastic washer known as a lock washer. Lock washers have little teeth that can dig into the foam board. Hence, it makes them even more secure. Lock washers are particularly effective for projects that move a lot, as they prevent loosening.
