How to: Make Your Own Wax Queen Cell Cups

I like to use wax queen cell cups because I can make them myself and they are recyclable. With the right tools you can easily make your own.
One thing I didn't mention in this video is the possibility of making your own silicone mold. I'm sure many of you will be able to figure that out.

I quite like the silicone mold and you cell carry box there, ? Is where can anyone purchase these, thank you.

Is acceptance better?

[@wiredforstereo]

I would say acceptance is much more related to other factors. The plastic ones are really good, lots of people use them. The reason I use the wax ones is because I can make them myself and they are recyclable. I have had acceptance from near 100% to near 0%, so I think it is probably not an important issue. I just like the wax.

@@wiredforstereo the wax is cheaper for sure than plastic I just ordered a pound of pre made cups to try them if results are the same with both I'll use my own wax

@@josephwoodall832 Yes, I bought the mold which is really nice because it makes the cups essentially free indefinitely. But the mold isn't particularly cheap.
