So you agree it is probably for 500 chips?
Remind me again how much cotton you think is in the formula for 500 chips?

I posted this before.
Again, with your interpretation, almost half of the chip would be made up from cotton as shown by the chart below.
A standard pillow is 2 lbs of cotton stuffing. There’s no way there’s 3 lbs in 500 chips.
40% is right in line with most other fiber filled composites.

@RainmanTrail 4 minutes til Wapner. Better wrap this up.

I take it you don't own any actual chips that you could just fucking look at then?
Another assumption gone wrong…
Are we assuming you have eyes? Because.... I mean... A forum is an odd choice if you don't....

The article is very interesting and worth reading. Is a bit mind bending how much fibre matrix materials contain. 43% by volume of fibre is actually feasible and matches the "wrong" calcs % by volume posted earlier. Take the air out of your fluffy cotton pillow and it's now small and no longer fluffy. Infuse a matrix into that compressed pillow you will get a hard substance not obvious composed of fibres.
You read it wrong.

I'm seeing a lot of fibres in my chips under the microscope. Yesterday @Colquhoun posted a microscope pic of a white chip showing faces can also exhibit a lot of fibre.
Quite possibly the density of fibres are why your clay chips are absorbing oil, compared to other chip types that do not.

Read what wrong? When I say "wrong" calcs I'm referring to the version that was 22% by weight and 43% by volume. "Wrong" in quotes as it seems to be the unpopular interpretation.
I actually posted that calc before @RainmanTrail and using the same interpretation/reading as you.

Ya gotta get your chips dewormed. Like a cat.
Totally kidding…referencing the spirit of this argument.
I think we are on the same page…but I might be misinterpreting.

Or treated like removal of mango worms from pets... don't look that up.

I'm tempted to take that bet offered earlier, such big return for small investment.
Hmm... take a clay chip and break it down to extract fibres... find out how much fibre is there.

Grind a few up into a fine powder and then break down with cellulase, figure out how much cotton you started with based on the glucose you got. Any physical chemists in the room?
I got an art degree.

One barrier is to confirm the 1852 recipe cotton proportions you would need break down a 1852 chip. Recipe could have changed since then.

Okay you can be in charge of tasting the glucose we get from them
You could just do an organic extraction…or heat it up (2000 degrees?). to burn off everything but the mineral content.

One approach. Best to try multiple methods that compliment. Burnoff may reveal inorganic percent (depending on the inorganics?). Grind and manual sort may reveal percent of fibre.
I've got free access to a lab at work... tempted to grind up a few CPC and sort under a microscope. Do it in small portions of a chip at a time.

I got a PhD in plant biology. I find those chip fibres very interesting...

Well, you do have a lot of really cool chips?
