Does  anyone have 'perfect' way to mash the combs completely or to get 
the honey  out of virgin honey comb?  I thought about placing the comb 
bag in an  extractor to spin out the rest of the honey but I'm sure 
the unbalanced  weight in the basket will cause the extractor to jolt  
violently...



Not sure of a " perfect way"  but Brushy Mountain sells an extractor  that 
you can get as an accessory a set of three bags that fit in the extractor  for 
the purpose of extracting honey from cappings.  If you were to cut up  the 
comb, this might work.
