[Histonet] How to keep paraffin sections from sticking to blade/blade holder.

[Clough, Bret]

While sectioning paraffin embedded tissue on a rotary  microtome I noticed the sections sticking to the blade holder and bunching up. What do I need to do so that my section come off the blade in a ribbon? Please note that this is my first time in sectioning tissue and this is a learning exercise  for me.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions .
