Dipping of beehives components in hot wax

[@SisyphusTwo]

I am impressed. This looks like a small but very efficient and professional factory.

[@Coldcider64]

Love your video, I hope you post more. Your doing quality work. Nice design on the dipping tank.

[@remilyonos]

Would love to see how to build several of those fixtures

[@WilliamMcNett]

The "Brick Tongs" was helpful but what was that last tool, used to grab the painted box from the inside and carry it? 4:39ish irwin quick grip set up as a spreader?

[@Dwight6769]

thanks for posting, the post is 5years old now; are your results as expected? What size burner(s) BTUs might be recommended? I have gotten my stainless steel vat completed; a friend welded it up for me and I will using a brick lifter to remove the hot boxes. After complete cool down of the wax tank how might it be restarted aka melting the solid block or does one drain the wax from the tank into smaller molds before cooling down in preparation for the next run? Thanks

[@BeeManDan]

This got to be the most efficient set up I've ever seen. For the life of me I cannot find those jigs used for holding the boxes together for assembly or for spinning to paint. Any chance you're willing to part from that information?

[@JoneyJefe]

This was my inspiration for waxing

[@Dwight6769]

From the Rural Industries Research & Development Corporation Paper it looks like an oil based paint applied before the box cools down is suggested, anyone interested do a search on RIRDC or hot wax dipping beehives.

[@markstevens8749]

What kind of paint sticks to the wax?

[@WilliamMcNett]

Mark Stevens as long as the box is still hot, the wax is still soft, it will suck the paint in to the wood as it cools

[@sloanick100]

William McNett Is the box repaint able in the future?

[@Dwight6769]

Great video thanks for posting. What is the wax mix maybe 30% Micro-crystaline with 180 degree melt point & 70% Parrafin with 140 degree melt point? Is this an oil or water based paint being used? Thanks Again

Uživam videa su stege koje ste napravili su pametni. Želio bih vidjeti više slika FO svoj ​​dućan. Koliko se osip imate? Sviđa mi se u Kansas SAD-u

[@TomBoomsheeva]

what sort of paint it is, water base?

[@No0neH3r3]

Did you manufacture the wax dipping tank, yes? If no, where did you purchase it?

[@НадеждаГрошкова-ь4ч]

Superb! Please, tell me, which clamps using a "machine" (where knock and where paint)? Thanks

[@Mosunick75]

How about the paint you use? It is a water based or oil based? Thanks!

[@robertlafnear4865]

WATER BASED.

[@raxmasher]

How many years expected use? You can't hear because of the drill. thanks!

[@xyzopera]

I'm in the pocess of setting up my workshop. I like your jigs. Are they custom? Any chance of getting the plans? A grateful beekeeper from Florida.

[@petrikss]

Супер ! Лучше не видел. Молодцы !

[@426superbee4]

You got a nice set up, i like the jigs. but you cant paint over wax, paint will peel off, a waist of paint ! Go fully into one, either wax or paint

[@pdfkungfoo6535]

The hot wax is absorbed into the wood very fast after the boxes come out of the wax bath. The paint will still stick very well.

[@aleksandraostrowska7008]

Great patents, thanks for sharing

[@salambeekeeper9464]

hi, what kind of wax are you using?

[@ВасилийСнигирев]

Добрый день. Очень понравилось видео. Скажите какая толщина стенки улья? Примерная влажность дерева перед погружением горячий воск? Температура воска и время пропитки? Good day. Really enjoyed the video. Tell me what the wall thickness of the hive? Approximate wood humidity before dipping the hot wax? The temperature of the wax and the impregnation?

[@FloryJohann]

Thank you for the translation.

[@MrGgorann]

Miso, koju farbu koristite posle parafinisanja nastavaka?

[@ramatgan2000]

What kind of wax and where do u get it? Thanks

[@1g232]

I do not understand how the paint sticks to the wax. Great shop!

[@SindreEide93]

as long as wood is hot it will absorb the paint and it sticks. If you let it cool down and then paint it wil never stick to that box

[@Dwight6769]

I did screen shots of video, order some clamps from Rockler, built model out of wood for the hive boxe asy jig then got a friend to build out of metal.

[@scottkaeck5781]

what kind of wax and were do you get it at? Thanks.

[@robertlafnear4865]

Parafin.

[@robertlafnear4865]

AND most Surf shops have it.

[@taylorarmy]

what are the dimension on the cooker i am going to have one built tanks

[@robertlafnear4865]

Just a couple inches bigger that the Hive box.

[@426superbee4]

Why put paint over wax? It wont bond !

[@robertlafnear4865]

YES IT DOES.... Must be done while wax is hot out of the dip tank.

[@beewagyu]

Would love to have your jigs. Sell me some please. Blue Diamond Bees

[@Dwight6769]

thanks. I go by scootertarsh on the beemaster forum

[@yblignomis]

This is wonderful

[@ВладимирЛогвин-ы6ы]

Какая краска?

[@InterTekker]

По ходу, как я понял водоэмульсионная краска. Покуда корпуса с горячей пропиткой воском остывают их прокрашивают и краска втягивается в древесину вместе с воском. Если я все правильно понял. Нужно взять на заметку!

[@misoivkovic]

5 to 6 years of use

[@JamilTahir786]

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from stodoys are the best.
