I have used pins, but I have never been very happy
with them.  The combs are often crooked or bowed once
the bees get to drawing them out.

Plastic foundation is much easier to deal with, if you
want to avoid wiring- and the combs turn out much
better! I have had good results with Plasticell,
Rite-cell, and Pierco foundations.
