There are still people locally who will do 'whipping' of the edges,

It needs cutting to size then taking to the, er, whipper, of course.
Seems that exterior PVA wood glue is OK - tried about a foot of an offcut
and it's OK. I put it on with the integral spreader and evened it out and
worked it in with a flat fitch brush. Not too 'crisp' and seems to hold the
loose bits in place.
