Easy, simply replace the periodic acid with 4% chromic acid (chromium 
trioxide is the dry chemical).  This is the same reagent used in a GMS 
stain, and you do the same timing for treatment of section, rinse as you 
would for GMS then proceed to Schiffs reagent.   Do not drain dump Chromic 
acid, it should be collected due to chromium ions.  WE only use our chromic 
acid for a week, the dispose of it.
