I have found Mann Lake's Rite-cell plastic foundation to be comparable in cost to crimp-wired wax foundation, and a whole lot less work. Just bend it slightly & snap into the frame. It's also practically indestructible, whatever happens to the comb drawn on it, the bees will rebuild. A good product -- I'm sure similar foundation made by others is also OK.
