Homemade wax press
Bill Murray:
My next project will be a wax press. Can anyone give me some guidance on what size holes I should have in the perforated plate.
BeeMaster2:
Which press are you considering. I printed a wax roller that you could use. I have tried to make a base and have one that I can probably scale up to match the roller that I have.
Judy just found several on Amazon that you can check out.

Bill Murray:
Sorry should have been a little more specific. Its to press the honey out of the wax. Also thinking it could be used to press the remaining wax out of the slum-gum. Lyson makes one the holes on theirs are 1/8 x 1/4 oblong. And way overpriced.
My thought was steam strainer basket. Holes will be round instead of oblong, and 1/8 may be to large for the slum-gum.
IDK. Just kicking this around in my head
BeeMaster2:
Bill,
Here is a picture of the roller that I made. I scaled it to bee small cell.
