    Dadant and Sons, Inc,. 51 South  2nd St Hamilton, Illinois  62341-1399
  USA   217-847-3324  offers three different ways of making comb sections.
 They have round 8 oz plastic, square 16 oz wooden, and 12 oz plastic
cassettes.  You can get a catalog from them.
 
   Another supplier for the first two would be Walter Kelly Co. 3107
Elizabethtown Rd. PO Box 240, Clarkson, KY   42726-0240   USA    800-233-2899
  (A free call in the US; I don't know if it is for you)
 
   Personally I have abandoned all section comb production, and do not even
use comb honey foundation.  I place empty frames between two good frames of
comb, and the bees make beautiful frames of comb honey, which I cut and place
into wide-mouth jars. Fill the rest with liquid honey, and you have a lovely
pack, which sells well, at least in this area.
