[Histonet] Slide trays

[RSRICHMOND <@t> aol.com]

I'm doing rather high volume pathology in a lab that uses the familiar old 
twenty-slide cardboard trays - the ones with "INDEX" in a very retro type font 
on the front.

Of course, nobody in the history of pathology has ever thrown away a slide 
tray, however old and battered. The result is that our old trays have 
accumulated numerous scribbles and stains on the tray bottoms, and these dark marks 
interfere with looking at the slide with the unaided eye before putting under the 
microscope.

Has anybody ever painted over the stains and scribbles with a nice 
easy-to-apply white paint? What product have you used for this?
