[QUOTE="James, post: 2885, member: 212"] We still melt out combs in a hot water bath fired by a diesel burner .... but have insulated freezer gloves . The slum gets scooped into moulds and sent south to the professionals for further wax extraction. To be honest, I don't think the whole process is very cost effective, but we end up with washed combs for re use. Cappings wax goes into muslin cloth and slung into a 200 lt water jacketed melter from which runs out beatifull yellow wax . [/QUOTE]
