Sounds like a good suggestion for super frames you're considering for cut
comb. Those are the only ones I'm still putting basic wax foundation in
anymore. I'll try it this year.
But for brood frames and extracting frames, I am gradually going to all
plastic based foundation. It only makes sense to go to a stronger,
perfectly flat (no foundation waving) base for your bees to work with.
Unless you're absolutely careless at extracting time, you should not have
blowout frames where your wax comes out of the frame with this solid base.
The extra expense of the plastic based foundation is well worth it when you
consider the increase in uniformity from frame to frame and hive to hive.
Less time correcting problems is more time for other more productive
endeavors.
