[Histonet] Nails

[Sheila Adey]

We noticed for any tissues that have a tendency to float off:
Leave over night at room temp to air dryThe next day heat in a separate oven at 56 degrees for 15minAllow the slides to cool back down to room temp.Then stain without using the oven on the stainer.Works great for fatty tissues
Of course this is only great if you have a day to spare. :)

> Is there anyone out there who is an "expert" on nails - specifically how to get them to stay on the slides??  We use Nair to soften the nails, and we have used plain "plus" slides, chrome alum, Elmer's glue, and gelatin -  all with very limited success.
