If it is Bakelite, the swab will turn yellow. If a piece is lacquered, it may test negative with Round edge dice are made as sharp edge dice in factories.
They then polish them in a tumbler to create the rounded edges. This means that the dice are never truly the same size on any side and sometimes factory dice end up being entirely different sizes depending on how long the dice were tumbled. This in itself creates randomness to the dice since no die will ever be shaped the same.
