    That is a really good idea! It makes cleaning and waxing them easy.

    Thank you Harris! It's a great tool you've demonstrated. Running to hardware store to get one!

    Thanks for the tip! I've not had much luck with pressure washer either. BTW you practice the same kind of shop organization I do.

      Lol. I bet you constantly mumble I got to clean this crap up same as I do. Right now I am building some feeder shim insulation boards, in the middle of the shop, and there's a barrel of honey sitting right in front of the door. Someday I'll get more organized

    That's great,but I keep my old wax to melt down and relax with. Your old wax is gone.

    Wow, well done! I usually just scrape them and leave that stuff in there but they don't take to it very well. You plan is much better for the bees. I wonder if you could just dip the whole thing and skip the roller part though

    • @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924

      dipping would work, but you have to scrape the wax off the sides that go in the frame so it will go all the way in or it buckles. I am working on a heated spray gun, one more project on a long list.

    Just dip foundation in wax. Preheated. On cold too much wax will stick.

    It there a right-side up for the foundation’s?

    • @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924
      @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924  7 месяцев назад

      If the foundation has two corners cut out, those are typically put on the bottom. Those are so the bees have holes to climb through to the other side. But I know some guys that cut those in the top also. Other than that they are not directional

    I've been cleaning plastic frames with air for a few years. It works great but the compressor has a hard time keeping up with the demand.

      @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924  Год назад +1

      yes it dose. I try to have a few other things going on in the shop so I can let it recover. some day I will have a 2 stage compressor

    Hi Harris! Could you please tell us what brand is your air nozzle?

      @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924  Год назад +1

      I have no idea, probably Harbor freight. any should work if it has a cone with a smaller hole. it dose take a lot of air, but works well

    I have about 900 to do and am thinking about making a copper pipe with several holes drilled in it and closed at the end so I can just shove the foundations thru to be cleaned. have pressure washed a few hundred but it's slow and have to stand all day and wear a frogman's suit.

    • @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924
      @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924  Год назад

      I wasnt impressed with pressure washing them. this works good, but takes a lot of air. I think you would have trouble supplying enough air to be able to run them through like you want. you have to hit each cell to get it to clear

    Why not use a hot water,pressure in a car wash, faster,cheaper,and cleaner.

      @harrisjoubertwithsleepycre1924  3 года назад +1

      tried a pressure washer, still have to get the water out. thats when I used the air, and it cleaned them better. I dont have time to load up foundation and haul it to town to clean it. it would be cheaper to buy it new
