Plastic Wax, comments which still can be found, rare in retail stores.
Wax scope of waste can be collected by treating them with hot water. With plastic products do not need navaschuvaty beyond Wax.

Wax at home
Similarly, on the other hand do. To not poured resin, stick to the edge of the sheet of plastic bumpers.
Developing an integrated hard letter, therefore produce half, which then stick together.
Often used for making silicone rollers, sold in DIY stores.
For the manufacture of molds it is applied in factory hundred letter to rebuild and allow to dry.
That leaves behind the easy form, it does not need to be lubricated. Enough to bring cold water to form.
Usually drill holes in the rollers for water supply and drainage pipes for hot fluids.
In industrial devices do not always provide cooling, so many beekeepers finalizes acquisition.
To adjust the thickness of the sheet should dip it into the melted wax, and then in cold water.
Then repeat the procedure until, until you get the desired thickness canvas.
Then scroll through lists rollers, giving them relief. To letters do not stick to the rolls, production should lower the temperature.
Reduce heat wax can, so you need to chill rollers. This is done by feeding cold artesian water rollers.

This unit can be manual or mechanized, that is working on engine. Often used for Waffle Irons wax.
This handheld unit for roughening wax consists of two plates with a characteristic pattern.
Letter fit between the plates and contracts. Now you know, How to make wax.
This form of wax to not allow it to do production for sale. Rollers will quickly provide a roll of wax cloth typical relief.

How many 1 kg wax sheets?
On the Dadant frame in 1 kg contained wax 13-15 sheet. If the frame width 230 mm, the 19-21 letter.
in addition, may vary and sheet thickness depending on the type of frames and hives. The plants are technological instruction, describing the quality of the product and its main characteristics. 
Weight letters wax depends on the size and scope of hives used.
Some beekeepers believe, that produce similar items impractical and costly.
Therefore easier to buy Wax, produced at the plant.
At the same time the production has its own laboratory for quality control, to minimize getting marriage.

Why bees wax bite?
This is because, that the wire is covered with oil or other fat. Insects obhryzayut just this fat with strings.
Sometimes an insect bite reinforcing layer. This is, if applicable reinforced Wax.
Usually during its production into a thin wire is laid.
To toiler ceased to gnaw wires, degrease it with alcohol or ordinary brew
It is advisable to use such devices, If distillation is carried out in nectar honey at high speeds.
This not break the cells. Wax at home reinforcing goes too high quality and a little different from factory.
in addition, homemade Wax much cheaper factory. But the necessary experience, to produce high-quality sheets.
To save Wax?
