Diary Blog - Term 3 - Week 3

Week 3

This week i started to glue my box together using a high strength all-purpose glue.  We used ratchet clanks and ties to hold the boxes together while the glue settled. We also used the racket clanks to apply more force to the box as normal clamps would not apply enough pressure to the box.

Problem In-counted: The initial idea of put the strap directly to the box wouldn't work as the glue would stick the straps to the box.
Problem Solved: So we made wooden clips that went along the side of the box and placed paper in between. The clips also helped to apply the force from the straps evenly over the box.
Next Steps: Wait for glue to dry and to foam my box.
