Title: round comb
Post by: kdm on August 08, 2011, 06:13:09 pm

I have made a few round comb sections over the years but i have not found a good way of putting the labels on even. They either over lap on the ends or get a wrinkle in the sides. Anyone got a good method?

Lots of practice.   That is why I let my wife practice it now.  That way I don't get yelled out so much.

AllenF.....Don't know about others but I wish that I had learned this lession earlier in married life.....but with age comes wisdom!  lol  It is much better to let the lady of the house do it too prefection everytime than for you to never get it right!

Happy wife, happy life.

kdm, could you lay the label upside down on a flat surface and then peering through the plastic lid, position it correctly as you place the lid on the label?

My wife did the extracting when i was still working. I worked away from home a lot. She has wised up, can't get her near the honey house now.    The label goes around the outside edge, you can't see through the comb.   Guess practice makes better.
