Hi John -
 
Have you actually done this to Duragilt with success?

Hi Barry,
     No,after I quit keeping bees I was talking to another beekeeper
about that being one of my main complaints about Duragilt. He had done it
for years but found it to only bee good for honey supers as they would
usually only draw out drone comb. Guess that info should have been
included to help the trial & error process for those out there in bee-l
land. Hope this helps.
