Lew,
Yes, in my experience you have to keep an eye on the bees as they draw comb on plastic. If they do it right, plastic foundation gives very sturdy comb with several advantages. But bees can be very creative as far as drawing it out wrong. If they show that they are drawing it out wrong, cut that bit out and tell them to try again. The best results come from plastic foundation with a noticeable layer of wax on it (you can scratch it up with your fingernail) drawn during the height of the honey flow.
