I have found that both permadent and ordinary foundation is badly
drawn if interspersed with already drawn ( but uncapped ) combs. The bees
apparently prefer to work on the already drawn comb rather than the new
foundation. They seem to draw nice combs if you intersperse the foundation
with capped combs. The new combs are drawn to within a beespace of the
already capped combs surface; if the previously drawn combs are straight
then the new ones will be straight. Any warpage or low spots will be
reproduced in reverse on the new combs.
