[Histonet] curious about soaking paraffin blocks.

[Anna K. Schultz]

Greetings All,
  I remember reading on here/archives that paraffin blocks should not be 
soaked or kept on ice for too long--what is the reasoning behind this?  
I am just plain curious and still fairly new to the field.  I often 
leave blocks on for a long time and this seems to help or at least not hurt.

Thanks,
Anna
