Wax Tube Fastener

Wax Tube Fastener is ideal for securing foundation into grooved thin top bar ( cut comb and chunk honey) frames. Metal cylinder is filled by lowering into container of hot, liquid beeswax. When cylinder is filled, wax is retained in the cylinder by placing finger over the air hole. With foundation in place, the wax tube fastener is run along the top bar groove. By removing finger from air hole, a small amount of wax flows out to cement the foundation to the top bar.
