>>Rub with a block of wax

That is all you really have to do.  All you need is the smell of wax to
attract the bees to the sheet.  I don't think you have to completely coat
the sheats withwax, although some feel it is nessicary.
My supplyer is ordering a higher walled plastic foundation, not sure
who makes it.  They tell me that the higher walled foundation,even
though it is not wax coated, will be worked without hessitation
commonly found when drawing out foundation of any type.  And the
comb is rarely droned up.  Anyone here have experience with this?
