Am I the only person who paraffin sections by: cutting the sections,
grabbing the ribbon with forceps or paintbrush, placing it on a dry slide,
adding water underneath the ribbon with a pastuer pipet, and then placing
the slide on a slide warmer.  The water will heat up and the paraffin ribbon
will expand on the bubble of water on the slide.Leave the slide on a slide
warmer overnight and the water is evaporates.  Some people blot off the
extra water.
Maybe that's just not any easier than picking up the sections from a water
bath.
