This is no scientific break through but a one time success.  Last season, I
had used Pierco frames.  I scraped them clean then took a block of beeswax
and rubbed them briskly so that a coating of sorts was on the surface of the
plastic foundation.  This one time trial was a success, the bees used it as
they have used factory wax coated frames in the past.  Perhaps a mild
warming to reflow the wax might have helped but I did not do that.
