There will be extra work involved because you can't just
drop them into the brood nest and have the plastic
accepted. It does seem like a valuable thing to try though,
because it holds the promise of instant conversion to small
cell.

Yes, 4.9mm foundation drawn out wrong is not 4.9mm with
uniformity for a test one would think. But since the HSC
plastic is fully drawn out with 4.8mm ID in the bottom of
the cells and 4.85mm ID halfway up the cells to top with
4.9mm ID at top which is really a 5.0mm sizing then at the
top, then with 4.8mm at bottom for a good 4.9mm ID sizing
at the bottom for royal jelly to approximate the royal
jelly in wax 4.9mm ID cells for JGH trigger changing, then
Bob you would have something better to work with and much
labor and time changed to lesser for you to do FWIW, say
with a better test if minimum of 4 frames in the center of
the broodnest core were placed if you could/might do that
for single nucs/deeps.

Sincerely,

Dee A. Lusby
