[Histonet] RE: A sticky subject....

[Patrick Laurie]

I used to have one of those anti-static brushes, it had a small radioactive
piece of metal that discharged the static.  It worked sometimes. Try
putting moistened gauze, or the kimwipes used to clean your waterbath in
your microtome wax waste tray.  That seems to help me.

Good luck.
