[Joe Nocito]

Happy Friday all,
try 10% sodium hydroxide for 1 hour prior to processing. It is important to 
let the slides drain really well before placing them in the oven. You want 
to make sure there is no water between the section and the slide. We use 
Plus slides with plain distilled water in our water baths. Hope this helps.
