>So... if you did, then how did you do it?
I have experience with plastic, but not directly with frames.
I don't know if the frame is hard polystyrene or polyethylene or some PE alternative.
So just a hypothesis.
Procedure probably such that he took a container with the size of the bee frame, for cooking the type baking pan in the oven, in which I would put water and boil. The levels of the level would be approximately similar to shortening and cut after immersion to the bottom.
This way you can get rid of a piece of beeswax from the bottom and heat the plastic to the soft state.
After immersing and melting and cleaning a part of the bee work from the bottom and heating of the plastic, I would use something like a tinsmith large (1m) table locksmith's scissors, a very sharp knife, a sharp machete with a fastened tip, etc. Because the heated plastic softens and can be cut or cut straight and does not shatter.
If I want to weld back to the cut after shortening.
First, I would cut the bottom of the frame from the boiling water, then the part to the normal height. This procedure could help the later deformation or twisting the plastic bee frame.
If the wax is cleaned and unmanaged, there should be no problem with the contamination of the glued part and should be firmly connected.
I hereby be known for safety circumstances. (gloves, beware of hot parts, watch out for eyes and blade blades)
