Plastics

Hi, This term for technology I have been moved to plastics - Yah!  I have never done plastics before and know nothing about it so have been really excited to get started and find out more.  The first task we had to do was make a dice.  It was harder than it sounds.  First we had to line up the holes exactly and make sure each side added up to seven.  Then we had to drill through the dots we had made on the plastic.  We then sanded the edges to smooth them out and help the dice roll better.  Next we rubbed out the pencil lines  we had made marking the dots with special sandpaper so the dice wouldn't get ruined.  Then we sanded the dice with yellow and black sandpaper again to get rid of any imperfections.
We then polished the dice and re drilled the holes to make them clean.  Lastly we painted the holes and left them to dry.  I cant wait for the next task.
