I'd like to start by making some definations clear.  RiteCell and DuraGilt
are both trademark names.  The first by Mann Lake and the second by Dadant.


Further, someone referenced DuraGilt as having a smooth plastic surface.
Dadant formerly made such foundation, but has not for at least five years,
and I suspect longer than that.  It was an inferior product and was
withdrawn from the market.  I don't know if it was called DuraGilt.  Today's
DuraGilt does not have a smooth plastic surface.  Their advertising states
"deep worker-sized cell imprints".

Dadant also has Plasticell.  To me, this is the direct competitor to
RiteCell.  I have used Plasticell extensively and it is a fine product...but
it is also plastic-based.  I have not used RiteCell, but have every reason
to believe it is also a fine product and it is also plastic-based.  There is
another similar product out there that no one has mentioned.  It is
Perma-Dent, Made by a couple of commercial beekeepers in South Dakota and
widely used by other commercial beekeepers.  It can be hard to find in q
