This is a closer picture of the chipping in action. The layer of glue here was about a 16th of an inch thick when wet. It has dried to a third of that or less. At the temperature in the double boiler (an old saucepan sitting in a frying pan with water in) the consistency of the hide glue was like hot honey. This taped off strip is about an inch and a half wide, that should give an idea of the size of the chips.
