SawdstMaker,
currently I only have two hives, and so investing in a dipper with no plan on expanding my hive count
would of course not be the best idea :) I'm hoping to expand into a semi-commericial (50-100 hives)
in the next few years. Although even at that level it might be questionable. I've also started to look into
who around me might offer dipping as a service.
swiftden,
What mix did you end up going with? The RIRDC document about wax dipping talks about 50/50 paraffin/microcrystalline but
from talking to others that seems way too much, more like 90/10. What did you end up gong with?
I got a final quote back and the wax + shipping would be about $800...does that sound about right to you?
prestonpaul,
Thanks for the tip. That's a nice looking setup they have. (also nice series of videos!)
