When to assemble the inner cover, which masonite side (smooth or rough ) go on the deep side?
Thank you for your time

The ones I have that are assembled at the factory have the rough side toward the hive. I have no reason or logic to explain why...

I haven't bought a masonite one since the 70's. Masonite warps too much. Mine are all either Luan (from beeworks) or 3/8" exterior plywood (from Brushy Mt.) or solid pine (from Walter T. Kelley).

I got these hives from Dadant

My last Masonite inner covers were too... but then I bought them back in 1974...
