I believe he told me they use 6 pounds of wax per 100 deep sheets which is how much I use when I add wax. Wish I could find someone to split the shipping. It's really high.
When we ordered our 5000 from them we just got a single coat. It works great in a good flow. If your not in a natural flow it needs a extra coating. My wife and I did this ourselves from our own reserve of beeswax and my goodness they will draw it out till oct.
Try Kelley. I was just at a convention where they were displaying Acorn foundation and an exclusive wood frame for it they sell. Didn't have 100 on site or I'd have grabbed a box.
The shipping is a real killer. I could maybe stomach it at 200 pieces of foundation (based on the amount of beeswax I need to use and the time to coat each one). But it makes a big dent if you can buy about 600 pieces.
If I can buy something that works good out of the box without dinking with it. I like that.
There seemed to be a big demand for the plastic foundation with extra beeswax on it. We decided to start carrying Acorn's heavy wax foundation becuase it seems like the bees and beekeepers prefer it. We are switching over to only selling the double dipped stuff. A deep sheet of foundaiton has over an 1 ounce of wax on it. A medium frame has about 2/3 ounce on it. This is a really great product, so we would love it if you checked it out.
You can get an accurate shipping quote during checkout (but before payment). Thanks for looking
