CraBee 1,744 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi. I have my first four hives . I am looking for a branding iron. To burn the number onto the boxes. Does anybody know who sells it. Thanks. Try @Russ he makes numbered branding irons. Best used before a box has been dipped and definitely before it is painted on the outside. You also need to think about how you will heat it, a fire will work, or a gas burner. Enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideal for branding plastic gear. The China one has not yet arrived as ordered a few weeks ago. This one is going to have the brass plate 20x80mm with our name and number.

Sonbee 27 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Great stencils from Trev's wife. I highly reccommend the stencils and very accommodating to special requests. I've even ordered the numbers 0-9 and several letters so I can keep track of my hives better. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RusselM 14 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I just printed out my number using a stencil font and cut it out of an icecream container lid. Faster than ordering. Too easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
