Fig. 188 shows the section of a plane that has its mouth worn very open, through the plane having been shot and the iron ground short. One method of remedying this defect is to let a piece of hardwood into the face; but the simplest and best plan is to glue a thin strip of wood or leather behind the iron at the bottom (Fig. 189). This gives the iron a sharper angle, closes the open mouth as much as desired, and, when a new and thicker iron is bought, the strip can be reduced or removed.
