Although I doubt whether it is possible to load a pair of dice
to produce results from a particular distribution it may be possible to

True.
There seems to be some confusion here. The convolution is the distribution
of the sum, which is indeed triangular. The density of the product
of two R(0,1) variables, for example, is -log(x).
