USEFUL TIPS

•
Develop an uncapping stroke that will allow you to uncap an entire side of a frame in a
single stroke. Use the frame itself as a guide for the knife. Use the entire length of the
blade to distribute the heat of the knife evenly across the honeycomb. Move the knife
back and forth gently across the frame to help regulate the temperature of the knife.
•
If necessary to cool the knife blade quickly, plunge the knife into a pile of your wax
uncapping.
•
Another technique is to carefully uncap the top 2-3 inches of the frame going upward,
and then uncap the rest going downward using the previous cut as the starting point
of the downward knife stroke.
•
Uncapping honey is a sticky process. Plan in advance how to keep your area clean as
you work. You can use damp towels to keep the work tools and uncapping area clean.
Keep tools close in reach to avoid hassle. Clean the warm knife before and after each
use; use a damp cloth only (make sure the knife is unplugged before using a damp
cloth).
•
Use a quality-uncapping tub to capture the wax scraps and honey, such as our Deluxe
Uncapping Tub. We sell one of the best uncapping tubs on the market specially
designed for uncapping. See our website for more information.
