[Histonet] Problems with Denatured Alcohol?

[Smith Wanda]

Happy New Year to Everyone!!!!!
We recently changed from Reagent Alcohol to Denatured Alcohol as a cost saving measure per the "bean counters".  The cutting histotechs have started complaining that the tissue seems dry and they are having difficulty cutting sections.  Has anyone else had this problem and are there any adjustments in processing times, etc that may help the situation???
Thanks,
Wanda
