Long Wire Spur Embedder Wheel A manual spur-style embedder designed to press frame crosswires into 100% beeswax foundation at room temperature for smooth, reliable installation. Key Features & Benefits Manual Wire Embedding: Presses metal crosswires securely into beeswax foundation. Best at Room Temperature: Works effectively when wax is pliable and not brittle. Controlled Pressure: Spur wheel design embeds wires without cutting through wax. Simple Operation: Roll directly along the wire with steady, even pressure. Foundation-Friendly: Ideal for installing beeswax sheets into wooden frames. Detailed Description The Long Wire Spur Embedder Wheel is a hand tool used for embedding frame crosswires into 100% beeswax foundation. When installing wax foundation into a wired wooden frame, this spur-style embedder uses pressure—rather than heat—to press the wires cleanly into the wax. For best results, the tool should be used at room temperature, when beeswax is naturally flexible and less prone to cracking. Cold wax can become brittle, making it more susceptible to breakage during embedding. To use, the wax foundation is placed into the frame and supported on a flat wooden surface with the wires facing up. The spur wheel is then rolled along each wire with steady pressure. Applying too much force can cause the wire to slice through the wax, so gentle, consistent pressure is recommended to achieve a secure embed. This simple, effective method provides a smooth way to install beeswax foundation into frames without electricity or additional tools. See all of our wax foundation assembling products.
