  The same problem occurred to me a little over a year ago.  I had a bunch of 
paper phenolic trays 3/16" thick.  Four were cut and glued together with slow 
cure epoxy.  They were laid on a flat surface and several hundred pounds of 
weight were on top.
  This disk was cut to 12" dia. and used at 3600 R.P.M. in a sync. gap with 2 
electrodes.  The disk never came apart and I still have it for other uses.
