I'm considering branding my hives. Here's my question(s): does anyone know how many brands you can get out of an electric iron before it needs to heat back up? (Cycle time)
.. and how long does it take to heat back up? (Cycle time again)
Any recommendations and/or thoughts?
I've been considering this company
https://www.gearheartindustry.com/electric-custom-branding-iron/Are there better choices?
How long do they last?
I'm looking to brand 50 to 200 boxes as well as the frames (for now). I'll probably need 2 irons, 1 small one for the frames, and a larger one for the boxes, covers, bottom boards, etc. I'm definitely looking for the highest "through-put" option, so price is not my primary concern. Input would be appreciated.
