Title: wax spinner basket
Post by: slacker361 on October 21, 2011, 04:26:50 PM
well this is my idea.... I have the powered extractor, which i believe you  can take out the baskets inside.... so if one can design a new type basket ...couldnt it be used as a capping spinner?  what do you think?

Why not use capping bags in your powered extractor  :?

I used the one from brushy last month and it work great,  except i only used one and its difficult to get it balanced enough with frames.  I recommend getting two or three of them depending on extractor you have and only doing the bags without mixing frames.  Put equal amounts in each bag.  It took me a while but I got it balanced and cappings were dry as they could be
