I don't use sc myself, but from what I have read, you must go from lc to natural cell, or 5.1 mm cell, then down to 4.9 mm from there. It is a two step process, normally taking two years. Yes, it is done ten frames, "1 box" at a time.

I use FGMO and thymol.
Yes, it is quiet. We are having trouble getting people to use the forum. Kurt and I do most of the posting. Hopefully it will increase as time goes by.
