There have been some good responses to this, but in the end it's a lot of
work!  I am switching to all permadent or pierco snap-in plastic,
wax-coated foundation.  No cross wiring, no *blow-outs* on extracting, no
holes chewed through comb, wax moth damage can be cut away or melted and
the foundation recoated with melted wax and reused indefinitely.  It is a
little more expensive, but if you rarely/never have to replace it the
extra cost now is worth it.  And when I say plastic , wax-coated I do NOT
mean Duragilt.  I will never use it again.  When it is stripped down to
the plastic, there is no cell pattern and *my* girls will not draw it
back out.  I wish someone had told me about this when I started!
