[QUOTE="Jhah, post: 11615, member: 103"] I tried thickish nylon fishing line and dripped hot wax along it to hold the foundation in and then after it was capped cut the line pulled the fishing line out and cut the comb up into icecream container sized blocks and gave it to people as prezzies worked well.This year I put two lengths of thinner line thru and slipped the sheet between as an experiment hoping the bees dont cut the nylon we will see.easy to clean frames quick scrape and start again.If you are worried about your wire method just hold the sheet against it with the right sized bit of wood and drip wax along it works well.Also I scrape and water blast my plastic frames,a bit messy but works well.
