Linda, you took some groovy pictures. Tomorrow I'll take a picture of my wax cappings and post it for you. Mine kind of look like yours, but they are in a cheesecloth ball in a bucket. Think I may try to squeeze it too, but I remember (and I can't remember who) was involved in a post that he was talking about pressing the wax inbetween two pieces of plastic cutting board. Oh ya, I could just go to the post about it because I participated in one of the posts, hold on...gonna have a quick look back...OK, so it was one that Mick talked about. He said....."What say I get two plastic cutting boards and trim them to fit exactly inside a frame. I place one ontop of a brick in a metal dish. I put the frame of honey on this. I then put the other board. Then I apply weight. Im looking for all of the honey to be pressed out of the frame leaving a flattened sheet of wax, still with the wires embedded, ready for re use." So, in a nutshell, I wonder if it worked for him if he tried it. I might give it a try. Great day. Cindi
