[Histonet] contamination/molds

[María Teresa Domínguez]

   I usually clean the molds in three steps:

   I wrappe  all  the metal molds with a paper towell and put in the oven
   at 42ºC (over night),

   when  the  paper  is  wet with the paraffin, I pass all the molds to a
   bowl filled of Xilene, and lte them there for 1 hour.

   To  finish all the molds can be dry into the oven at 37ºC.The paraffin
   "rest in peace" in the paper towell, and the Xilene.

   Good luck!
