I have given up on plain foundation.  I will only use plastic foudation with the
wax coating.  The bees build it out faster, it more durable, wont warp in the hot
weather, the bees cant chew it up, if their a spot of drone comb, it can be
scraped down and the bees will rebuild it as worker cells because the imprint is
their, wont blow apart while extracting, and the price is now comparable to
regular wax foundation.  Plus, you save a ton of time while assembling, as you
dont have to wire and crimp it in place!
