Does anybody know how to shave dice or load dice? I know how to load them for the most part, I'm trying to find out how to shave them, but any method of either wont hurt to learn. |

Here is a good description … but not much on how to do it link |

Alte Fritz may be asking why you want to do this in jest, however, it is a good question. At this point I'm not sure I would let you use your own dice at my game table. |

I think, given the plastic material of most dice, that it might be difficult (or at least time consuming) to do without it showing. That said, I'd use a fine sanding block to remove material, then (if necesary) deepen and remark the pips and polish the abraded surface. Doug |

I've heard of microwave ovens being used for this, but have no idea how. |

"I've heard of microwave ovens being used for this, but have no idea how." Hmmmm … maybe if heated the material tends to settle a bit? That would make the side placed down in the nuker heavier. Doug |
