Q is about wiring frames vs buying wired foundation
Price difference on 200 sheets is approx £130 less by my reckoning (un wired vs wired) cost of eyelet and wire not included.
Anyone use eyelets and wire their own frames. Overhead in labour would seem to be first preparation of frame (but could be drilled in batches prior to assembly) i would assume labour benefit would be next time the frame has foundation replaced as should be quicker to remove/clean/rewax than with wired foundation.
Any comments and observations? Your experiences? Thanks
