Thanks Gayle, 
 
I am searching for a VVG or any other special stains. I think I have found a VVG published earlier in the archives.

Technovit it GMA.  If you do a search for glycol methacrylate in Histonet
website, you will find methods.  If you tell us what stains you want to do,
it will help.

Normally, any stain that is used for paraffin can be used on GMA  sections,
but you do NOT have to run down to water, as the plastic is in the tissue
forever, it cannot be removed and if you want to do immunostaining, it is
not a good embedding media for that as immunoglobulins cannot penetrate the
plastic matrix to get to the antigens.
