Fw: [Histonet] embedding without a station?

[Ian Montgomery]

Anila,
         While an embedding station is handy, all you need is an oven and
hotplate to keep the wax molten. Embed as normal, remove from the heat, blow
gently across the surface to form a skin of wax then submerge in cold water.
Ian.
