Just wanted to add that I paint my fume boards black and will normally let
them warm up with direct sunlight then place my bee go or whatever product I
am using.   This help move the fumes also giving the board a small gap so
that the fanning of the bees will move the fumes along.

Bee Go.  Some depends on the temperature and the sun.  If it is really hot
and the sun is shining, the Bee Go will nearly drive the bees off the brood.
If it is really cold it might not even seem like it is working.  Wait until
a warm sunny day, that way most bees will be out foraging, making the task a
whole lot easier.
