[Histonet] varistain heat stations

[Derek Papalegis]

I have a question about thermo's veristain gemini stainer. can the heat 
stations be used in place of an oven? We are trying to save money on 
equipment and havent found an inexpensive slide drying oven so if we 
could just use the heat stations, that would work out well. does anyone 
know where small, relatively inexpensive slide ovens can be purchased 
at?
thanks,
derek
