Have a bucket of mixed brace comb and old black stuff from very old frames from an abandoned hive, today I melted half of it in water strained and it is now in shed cooling, where I hope fine particles etc will separate out. So a few questions:...
Had to do this in a hurry and seemed the best option, is there a better way ?
It still looks black, will this separate out?
Best method of clean up??, I rinced down strainers with boiling water, but stove top is a mess and she is home this evening so I get a clip on the ear if it's not clean , will detergent dissolve wax from work top and stove???
Essential equipment? I just used old saucepan and old flour sieves
any other tip greatly appreciated.
OR
Am I wasting my time with this very old comb ???
