WE have switched to Cancer Diagnostics Moist Mark Plus, 
www.cancerdiagnostics.com, Item # MP2100, case of 10 (cheaper 
too!).  Callthem at 877 846-5393 to see if they will send a sample.  If 
not, try the next source below.

www.marketlabinc.com, get their 800# they will send you samples to try 
first before you take the big plunge and buy them to ensure they work in 
your alcoholic based fixative.   We love them!  They graciously sent them 
to me via private email contact, and hopefully looking in on this message.

A #2 pencil does the job, just a nice soft lead, but not quite as smeary as 
the Tissue Tek pencils.

Good luck
