[Histonet] Block labeling

[Blazek, Linda]

Put a label on the back of the block and then a couple of drops of paraffin.  It acts like glue!

Hi Everyone,

What is the best way to label blocks that are already embedded?  We have a large control bank that we are trying to relabel and make search able, however, most marking pens don't write well on paraffin covered blocks, even when we scrape them off.  Pencils work, not always the most legibly, so I was wondering if there is a clever solution that someone might have found.  We've tried putting stickers or labels on the back, but that falls right off.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
