Thanks Michael, that's what I figured. I think I was just hoping since I'm a little scared to go messing with their comb.

How does one go about removing the crooked comb and then how do I tie it to the bar? Thanks for the info, your site has been a wealth of information the past year and a half while researching.

Robee-I have wooden strips down the center of the bars, but did not use any wax to start out. Is that what you were asking?

Thank you for the picture. The combs are not very long big yet, I'm...
