[Histonet] cutting GMA blocks

[Snider, Deanna]

Dear histonetters,
I hope you can help!!  Thanks in advance.  I have learned to process and
embed GMA specimens with no problem, BUT the cutting is a nigthmare!  For
one I can hardly see them, and 2, they are of the absolute worst quality-
totally unacceptable to me!  There are compressions, wrinkles, folds- you
name it!  By far the worst work I have done since learning in 1985!  Does
anybody have any hands on hints or tips to get a nice smooth quality section
from GMA's?
