[QUOTE="JohnF, post: 12832, member: 233"] I am interesting in the draining/drying point Tristan - especially as it seems many hives has been poisoned with a staple form that went from soak to hive, without a drying step. I do wonder whether differences in humidity affect the efficacy of the strips through moisture absorption - especially when [USER=73]@Otto[/USER] 's instructions (under resources here) state that he dries his gib staples outside for 2 days or so (and aiming for a dry touch). The Beequip instructions say to drain for a minimum of 24 hours. So the material being used should be carefully noted [/QUOTE]
