Dear all,

Is anyone aware of an efficient way of removing remnants of brood linings
from the cell recesses of "Perma" plastic foundation?  Presently, I scrape
the old wax from the surface, remove the foundation from the frame, and
boil, but it's a lengthy process, and sometimes I still have trouble getting
them clean.

Also, what advice can you give me on applying wax to the foundation after
cleaning?  If I dip it in liquid wax, it seems the buildup is too thick.
Any ideas on applying a lighter coat?
