Hi everyone! This week we finally started our projects! As you may know, I am making a mini compact mirror and while cutting my wood I realized that I had to make some changes to my design. I’m not sure how to construct it so that I can put a mirror in the wood, so that is something I will have to ask Ms. Giroux.
Before starting our projects though we learned about glue and adhesives. I learned that there are so many different variations of glue and adhesives and so many different purposes for each one. I also learned that some glues form mechanical bonds while others form chemical bonds. For example, hot glue forms an mechanical bond, but super glue (cyanoacrylate) forms a chemical bond. Chemical bonds are stronger.
I am still a little bit frustrated on what to do about my project, but I’m excited to fix it on Monday! Thanks for reading!
