How To Install Wax Foundations Installing wax foundations is something that every beekeeper should know how to do. Remove the wedge bar: After you assemble your frame and glue is dry, remove the wedge bar. The wedge is that piece of wood that pops out of the top of your frame. Install the Foundation: Take one sheet of crimp-wired foundation and place the long side without metal hooks in between the gap of the bottom bar. Then rest the hooks in the groove left behind by the removed wedge. Make sure the wax rests freely and is straight as possible. If the wax bows even slightly this could cause the wax to be drawn out unevenly by the bees. Insert the wedge back into place. You may need to rotate the wedge for the tightest fit. With the wedge in place, nial 3 wedge nails thgough the wedge into the top bar. you have to hammer at an angle to ensure the nail catches. Install cross supports.
