Is it really possible to scrape the wax from Pierco (and other) plastic
foundation and have the bees successfully redraw comb on it.
I tried this with just a couple frames this summer and that hive made a
mess between the two and I gave up that experiment.

But, having 2-3 boxes worth of frames that have moth damage is much
different than just trying to get a couple frames drawn 'straight'.  I am
wondering - do folks really just scrape down to the plastic and give to the
bees to fix?

I would appreciate any tips you have.  Thanks.
