Topic says it all. I know masonite is not good exposed to the elements, but has anyone used it for internal things within the hive? Perhaps for a separator or follower?

Used as the board on an inner cover it often pop up warps excessively in the center making for beespace problems.

I just saw a bunch of DIY frame feeders, they were basically wood all around and I think the translation said to coat it with wax to make it waterproof. Something like this:

Is that what you are talking about?

Never thought I could put Masonite in contact with liquid. I was just hoping for something to use as an 1/8" separator instead of CorroplastⓇ or Lauan.

The divider boards in my queen castles are temperd masonite. They do not like to get wet., but work well in this application. I have a few inner covers with regular masonite and as mentioned already, they sag after a while and are generally worthless.
