[Histonet] Breezy lab/flyaway ribbons!

[Sebree Linda A]

I do that too using either a wet brush or applicator stick but sometimes
the breeze is more like a gale force wind breaking my ribbon apart to
then adhere to everything but the surface of my waterbath!

Ditto, I use a small brush that I got from the craft store and prior to
picking up the ribbon I wet the brush and slip it under my ribbon end
closest to the blade and presto no flyaways.

When I was doing histology, I would use a flexible end of a brush to
roll the ribbon end closest to the blade and that would secure it
beautifully and no fly aways.
