[Histonet] Paraffin Block triming

[Paula Pierce]

I try to embed so as to have a minimal amount of paraffin to scrape from the blocks. ;)

But, I do scrape using the handle end of the same forceps I use to pick up the ribbon and tease the sections. No sharp edge. No electricity.

Yep, it's called "my own two hands and a metal spatula", ha ha :) I find 
that it's not only very quick, but quite accurate...
