I did as Michael B suggested " experimnet"
And I also took on board other suggestions.
I have two very sharp knifes. I think one is a grafting knife - very sharp.
The other is a Voctorinox ( I'm Swiss born) with a serated blade - also very sharp.
I boiled enough water so that the full blade is immersed.
I tried to cut the comb - lovely white stuff, probably a bit of Clover - but it was hard going.
I left the 1/2 frame for a while - still cold but it was easier to cut with clean edges.
The boxes I purchased means I get 5 pieces of comb and a bit.
Each piece comes in at around 200gr
I will have to see what the market is willing to pay for this.
Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement.
