<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tauriel, post: 10666, member: 77&quot;]Well....I do not think this is glue chip,... I have made a lot of glue chip glass and to me this looks like &quot;faux&quot; glue chip. It looks like some kind of crystalline finish... If it were glue chip the surface would be torn up, you could feel the chips easily and it would not be a smooth surface at all.</p><p>I have never used the paper method, I have always sandblasted the surface of the glass, giving the surface a rough texture so the glue gets a good bond, then painted on the hot animal skin glue and then dried it in a light box. As the glue dries the surface dries first and contracts as it drys it pulls and pops off in chips which makes the patterns you see in true glue chip glass, depending on several techniques you can make snail patterns, feather patterns, double chip, and several others. </p><p>This surface on this bottle appears more like a surface finish. You could take an xacto knife and on the bottom near the base you could see if you can remove a tiny bit of the finish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
