I work in a dermatopathology lab, and we don't see any issues leaving our
specimens in 10% NBF for days at a time.  We don't work on the weekends, so
any specimens that are grossed remain on our processors in NBF from Friday
at 8:00 PM until about 5:30 PM on Sunday.  I also agree with Kris that 4
hours of fixation is not long enough to ensure proper fixation unless they
are shave biopsies.
