There have been some good responses to this, but in the end it's a lot of
work! I am switching to all permadent or pierco snap-in plastic,
wax-coated foundation. No cross wiring, no *blow-outs* on extracting, no
holes chewed through comb, wax moth damage can be cut away or melted and
the foundation recoated with melted wax and reused indefinitely. It is a
little more expensive, but if you rarely/never have to replace it the
extra cost now is worth it. And when I say plastic , wax-coated I do NOT
mean Duragilt. I will never use it again. When it is stripped down to
the plastic, there is no cell pattern and *my* girls will not draw it
back out. I wish someone had told me about this when I started!
