[Histonet] Paraffin in cassette holding chamber?

[Horn, Hazel V]

We do not add paraffin to our holding chamber.   But they do not sit
there very long, as we start embedding right away.   Is there a reason
you want them to sit for a time before embedding?

I want to get an idea of who is (and who is not, and why) adding
paraffin to the cassette holding chamber of the embedding center.  Once
processed-How long are tissues ok to sit without paraffin on them?

All thoughts, opinions, experience is appreciated...Thanks.
