1 If natural latex is to be used, it must first be harvested and processed. The tall 32.79 yard (30-meter) chicle tree is scored with a series of shallow Xs, enabling the chicle to flow down into a bucket. After a significant Chewing gum base consists either of natural latex or a synthetic substitute. Natural latex such as chicle is harvested by making large X-marks on rubber trees and then collecting the substance as it runs down the tree. After grinding the base to form a coarse meal, the mixture is dryed for a day or two. Next, the mixture is heated in large kettles while the other ingredients are added. Large machines then pummel, or "knead," the mass until it is properly smooth and rubbery, and it is put on a rolling slab and reduced to the proper thickness.
