How to dip your Beehives Part 2

[382342]

Have you dipped old painted boxes and if so what were the results? What are the dimensions on the tank? and what did you use for a burner? Thank You.

By the way, forgot to say this the first comment, I like your brick surround and heating arrangement. We can rig something like this up when we do our own. Cheers

Thank you for your kind reply. I just wanted to help people out and share my information. I had to research this out on the web and I found just a few people doing this. So I thought I would share my results. Thanks again. Bruce

This great! I live in New Zealand and want to start keeping bees again, and heard about hot wax dipping, and you lil video told me pretty well all i need to know. Thanks for making it. Cheers

where did you find your tank? What kind of metal is it?

what do you us and what is the ratio

@texroadie I use a mix of parrafin wax and gum rosin. It is about 25 % gum rosin and 75 % parrafin wax and I thrown in some left over beeswax from time to time. It really works well for clean up my old frames as well. Cleans them up like new. Good luck Bruce
