Morning all!

I need some quick responses to this question:  do you use your fingers
or an instrument of some sort to pull your paraffin ribbons off the
block when sectioning?  For those that do not use their fingers, what do
you use?  If forceps, are these the typical lab forceps or a special
type?

Thanks so much!
