[Histonet] suggestion for sections washing off

[John A. Kiernan]

If you put a layer of protein on the slide, you'll
cover up the positively charged glass surface, so
you may as well use ordinary, less expensive
slides. Albumen (from eggs) is a commonly used
adhesive; I don't think albumin is often used for
this purpose.
