 I have reviewed Re: Nair to soften nails & Re: Tough Toenails in the
archives. Ron Slyter recommended using Calcium Hydroxide, the active
ingredient in "Nair" to soften nails. Is there a procedure, a dilution
?

  Su, Phy-Huynh recommended using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane coated
slides to aid in keeping toenail sections on the slide. As I do not have
a Histochemical Journal 1986 : 18 , I would appreciate some help with
recommendations, or a proceedure. We silanized our slides many years ago
but I do not remember how we made our solution. 

  We are prepared to search through archived proceedure manuals, but
perhaps input from others will provide more information than our old
proceedures. Any help will be well appreciated.

  Thank you,
