Go slow to begin with on wax foundation. extract about half on the first side, flip to the other side, take it slow again but this time you can finish the second side before you flip back to side one. First year comb is always tricky. The more it is attached to the bottom bar and the end bars, the less stress when spinning. The bees will repair and re-enforce each time you put it back in the hive. :shock: :) d2
