A disclaimer here and appeal to other membersI don't have any plastic foundation, have never tried this and don't know how tough the stuff is heat-wise... warping and such.
Wax melts at 150-ish so it doesn't have to be a rolling boil. If I were to try it, I'd bring the pot to a boil, shut off the gas and hold the frames in at an angle to keep from steaming the fingers.. Plus I'm an amateur cook so my pot isn't tall enough to handle the whole frame at once.
It'd be nice if experienced people here would give an opinion on the heat on plastic foundation before you try it or test it out on one frame first to make sure it doesn?t hurt the plastic.
I just answered as "What would a redneck do" bounded by what do I have and expect others to have. ..and trying to throw in a little humor
good luck.... and if you try it and it works, please let us know.
also, welcome to the site .. the rest of the members are way more helpful than me.
