Carol,
 Tell them to try Glycol Methacrylate. It works well on fish and plastics.

> We have had a request from a researcher at Woods Hole for embedding and

> interested in the interface between the living tissue and the tag. I
> believe that these are Floy-type spaghetti tags, which are flexible soft
> plastic, maybe latex.  I have no experience with sectioning non-biological
> materials.  We do 99.999% paraffin here, but do have the capability to do
