I have sublimated in the past. Thousands of others have, too. I considered it for a couple colonies this winter but decided against treatment.
I see no significance of the 'oxalic acid crystals' you have - you could spray sublimate or trickle, it makes no difference to the oxalic acid.
Plenty of references on the net to efficacy, if that is what you are asking? Oxalic acid kills varroa.
Yes they are effective in sublimating the oxalic acid, if that is your enquiry?
Mine is a home made sublimator -3 diesel engine glow plugs inserted into a machined aluminium base with a dish to retain the acid and holes to insert the plugs. Pretty (or not so pretty, in this case) simple affair, but it works - heat the oxalic acid and it first loses it's water of crystallisation then sublimes at 162 degrees Celsius; immediately (or almost) returns to a solid as a fog which permeates the hive. Job done.

RAB, did you manage to machine the aluminium thin enough to slip into a standard entrance ? anmd do you think three pugs are necessary ?
