If you put a piece of paper towel in the bottom of the "drip catcher" you
just change that and it makes it much easier.

Re: [Histonet] knife used for cleaning paraffin off the blocks
Actually we have a ParaTrimmer too - it was not that expensive and we love
it. We paid @ $500 for ours and I see the they are a bit more expensive
now - list price anyway.
To solve the drip problem I put one of the tops from the boxes of pipette
tips under the ledge and it catches all the drips. When the paraffin
hardens you can just pop it out and when the "drip catcher" gets nasty we
just throw it away and get another one.
