allen dick referred us to pictures of Dee Lusby making wax foundation at

> These are well worth a look.  It shows a home-based production line and
suggests a lot of sheets can be made in a session once u have set up.
One query - apparently the flat sheets are put in a black sack before being
put thru the rollers.  Does this mean every sheet has plastic both sides
while being emossed?  Is that to avoid wax getting on the rollers?  Has it
been found difficult to avoid wax sticking just by pouring lots of relaese
agent over the rollers?  Does the plastic blur the sharpness of the embryo
cell walls?

Could someone please clarify.
