I store mine in brown wrapping paper, the wax moth are not interested in clean foundation Alan Norris ---------- From: Bob Billson[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, 11 September 1997 17:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: how to store wax foundation? Hi all, I looked in the archives and found no answer to my question so I guess it isn't a newbie question. :-) What is the best way to store *unused* foundation until next season? I have a lot of cut comb foundation and a fair amount of brood foundation. I am concerned that over the coming months bugs will find it make it unusable come next Spring. I have seen moth larva chew through plastic food bags to get at food in my closets. I don't trust that wrapping the foundation plastic will stop the little critters.
