I don't much use excluders myself but I have a few around for special
projects.
Bees don't much like going through to draw out bare foundation but if you let
them start a bit and then put the excluder they get the idea.
I keep an old excluder in the truck as a template for picking up scrap wood
for my hive projects and another to drain cappings on.
