[QUOTE="Mummzie, post: 2880, member: 5"] Nicks article is a good read, if only to find out that everything I have experienced is common ground. I have tried cotton cloth (pillow cases) as filters, works ok but leaves a lot of wax in the cloth and clogs up. [I][SIZE=3]Not much fun to sleep on after either[/SIZE][/I]. Muslin is too open. Paper towels absorb too much wax. There is a reasonably fine nylon insect cloth available at hardware stores that with multiple layers makes a reasonable filter, and with a bit of a rub releases the crud- making it re-usable. I was starting to play with dacron wadding (quilt inners) but I think we ran out of summer, got locked down and haven't gone back to it. I will be very interested in anything you find works. [/QUOTE]
