[Histonet] bubbles in paraffin blocks

[Tom McNemar]

I see this when using the cassettes with the smaller holes and when the paraffin is added too fast.  Air gets trapped under the cassette.

Histonet experts,can you give me reason why embedded paraffin would have
tiny bubbles  in the block after the cooling process?
Any idea are appreciated
