What is a good way for a small beekeeping operation to make wax foundation?
I am looking for a low-cost mold or roller system that beekeepers have found
to be practical.  My preference is for a hand-powered tool, so that it can
be used in rural locations without electricity.

My initial thoughts are a waffle-style mold with a non-stick surface, if
such a product exists.       Years ago, I experimented with dipping boards
and even coating cloth and paper with wax, but never got it right.

Thanks,
John
