[QUOTE="CHCHPaul, post: 3764, member: 205"] Good write up [USER=73]@Otto[/USER] and it’s cool to see that others are still working with OA/GL successfully. I am still only using staples and they suit my little operation. They are a quite high maintenance solution to varroa though, and I wouldn’t recommend them to the set and forget brigade. I still make my own staples too. [USER=124]@kaihoka[/USER] , if you have a sewing machine it is quite simple. My version is sewing four layers of gib tape for 75mt rolls with two rows of thread, then cut to length and cut down the middle. That gets me about 300 staples or so. Enough to last a hobbyist a few years I expect. [/QUOTE]
