[QUOTE="tristan, post: 12865, member: 30"] from his pics of it, those blocks are way to big to go under an excluder. you would have to use a spacer rim. a feeder rim or two wooden excluder/top mat rims. hard to say without trying it, but the thymol gel we used years ago made the gear stink for a long time. those supers of feed end up being shifted around and ends up in honey coming off (had a few extraction customers do it). even dead outs being reused as supers the smell stays for a long time. this is why the boss won't let me test it out. i highly recommend doing it has double brood or single box brood. no supers.
