Hello fellow bee folks!
 
The companies that make plastic foundation state that the beauty of this
foundation is the ability to scrape the comb off if it becomes diseased  along
with it's reuseability and ease of use.  What is one to do with plastic
foundation if it gets a bacterial disease ie. AFB???  I recently learned that
even boiling the plastic will not kill the AFB.  In this case, it turns out
that the plastic foundation is much more expensive then regualy wax foundation.
Having to replace plastic is cost prohibitive.
 
Is there a way to clean AFB off plastic foundation besides irradiation?  If
not, where in the San Francisco Bay area or California can one take their
equipment for this treatment?
 
Any comments on this subject will be welcomed.
