[Histonet] Tissue left in processor

I do not think that a well fixed, well processed tissue left in molten paraffin for 2 hours after the processor finished will have any adverse outcome.

Hi All,
Is there any standard on how long tissue cassettes can remain in the processor after processing before the tissue is subjected to unwanted outcomes?  And if so  what type of artifacts can one expect from tissue that was in the processor in molten paraffin for 2 hours after the processing was completed?
Thanks so much.
Roger
