[Histonet] Finger Nail Softening

[GUTIERREZ, JUAN]

I don't know if it is still available, but in the old days we used Nair to soften toe nails.  We just covered the nail with it for a couple of days and then processed it.  Good luck.

	Hey all!
	 
	I was asked a question about softening finger nails before or during processing that would make them easier to cut and allow them to hold on to the slide. They want to do this instead of any kind of treatment to the nails after they are embedded in paraffin so that it isn't just on the surface. If anyone has a procedure for this or a reference from a manual I would really appreciate it. You can email me directly at   banorris <@t> utmb.edu
	 
	thanks once again
