The only times that I have had problems with cross comb and wild comb is
when I tried to use only 9 frames of foundation.   The bees badly cross
combed everything pierco,  and duraguilt.   Of course all I had to do was
scrap the bad comb off of the pierco. not so for the duraguilt.    I wish
you wouldnt have burned them.  I would have been glad to take them off of
your hands.
