Hi:
 
At the risk of having billard balls thrown at me, I can attest that bees
will not rebuild comb that has been taken down to a slick plastic surface.
I have examined thousands of commercial colonies and seen lots of frames
with previous mouse damage.  The bees never fix it.  In fact, it looks
like they polish the bare spot.
