David, I got a good look the other day and I think there may be some comb extending below its box... So I'll try what you say -"In the unlikely event of the...
Anne, The easiest way is to proceed as follows: - lift one end of the box by 2-3 mm and put in narrow wedges or something else to keep the box that way, put...
