[Histonet] Formula 83 users?

[Blazek, Linda]

With all due respect René; I have been using Formula 83 with my coverslipper with no problems at all though have a glass coverslipper not a tape.

Jacqueline:
Formula 83 is a naphthenic hydrocarbon that cannot be used with coverslippers, is recyclable and while some people have been using it for more than 20 years, others find it irritant.

HI all.
I have searched the Histonet archives and found a lot of very positive reviews
regarding Formula 83. I am wondering if anyone has encountered any issues with
using Formula 83 on a stainer and then xylene on a tape coverslipper.  Are there
any miscibility issues? Are you soaking in xylene prior to tape coverslipping
required? Any helpful hints/tips/tricks?

Thank you in advance.
