[Histonet] metal molds vs. disposable molds

[Cheri Miller]

My issue with the plastic disposable molds is that when you need to re-embed
and melt the block down, the mold will curl and lose its shape just enough
to impede cutting the second time around.

Hello everyone,

We have a debate going on about purchasing metal molds vs. disposable
plastic molds. Which is better? Is the cost better in the long run to
buy metal? Also, how does everyone clean their metal molds?

Thanks
