Laterally wiring foundation

Post by John Sabat »

This question is for Wally or anyone else who may desire to comment. My question is this:
I recently obtained an electric wire wax embedder and am not quite sure as to how to end the wiring scheme.....twist, staple or exactly what do you do to end the process.
Thanks in advance!

I am running two wires per frame, both hive body and super. I drive a small nail halfway in, center of one end bar. I then run the wire in that end, across to the other end bar, back through to the first end bar. I then wrap the end of the wire around said nail. I pull the main line of wire with pliers until both lines are tight. I wrap the main line around the nail and drive it the rest of the way in. I then clip the main line and it is finished.

That is probably about as clear as mud, so if you need to, call me. 302-2708

Sounds great to me. I plan on assembling several this week-end.
Thanks Wally!
