> Is the mesh rigid?
> Is the mesh on a frame originally?

> Cut mesh in manageable size, frame  each side of the mesh to be cleaned on
> a temporary clamp -prep to extraction
> After that - stretch to loosen the propolis from the mesh
> After that - shock the framed mesh to get loose propolis out - should get
> 10-25% depending of the romboid size
> After that - put the mesh onto a vibration - should get 25-50% of what is
> left after shock dependant on the duration and vibration frequency
> Perhaps you can reduce the number of steps, based on experience.

> Cut the mesh before freezing in any event
