The mann lake metal bound ones seem to work extremely well.I'll purchase a queen excluder shortly. Seems that there are 3 types: Metal-framed, Wood-framed or complete plastic.
Are there any preferences? This will be for a 10-framed Lang, Medium super.
Thanks

I discovered this as well. Using 4 frame nucs that I built myself. I am not that great of a carpenter, so the forgiving nature of the plastic QEs comes in handy.fan of the plastic as I am doing a lot of nucs supered in common and need it to lay flat to keep the queen form crossing over
so try a couple of each. for some application it does not matter others you will find one is better, perhaps a mix would be more flexible.Yep, different opinions for sure. Not unexpected of course! Thank you for all the inputs.
Now to make a decision.

Seconded. I have always used a blow torch too. Heat gun makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the tip Titus.Heat gun idea is brilliant! I have tried cleaning them up with a blowtorch but did not work so great. Thank you for the suggestion, will try that.
Blow torch on stainless sure, but only use a hot-air gun on galvanised - unless you want therm to rust.Seconded. I have always used a blow torch too. Heat gun makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the tip Titus.
I built my solar melter such that it can fit a stack of 20 excluders. Works like magic.Heat gun idea is brilliant! I have tried cleaning them up with a blowtorch but did not work so great. Thank you for the suggestion, will try that.
