[Histonet] curious about soaking paraffin blocks.

Our histotechs cool faced blocks on ice that is frozen in plastic
storage containers.  There is usually some melted ice water on top of
the ice block so in essence the blocks are cooled and soaked at the same
time.

To start at the beginning again. Do the US-histotechs cool the blocks on
a
coolplate and subsequently soak them in ice-water or ammoniacal water?
