Carrying on from a current thread on foundation I was wondering about alternatives.
Obviously foundation free frames and starter strips are possibilities.
I read in wartime of beekeepers using sheets of newspaper coated in beeswax.
I wondered if a thin sheet of plywood (1.5-3mm) coated in beeswax in place of foundation would be effective? If drawn out it would be robust for spinning out!
