[Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 194, Issue 15

Hi Betsy,
     I wouldn't do it. It's an unnecessary risk to let them dry out. Better
to leave it in distilled water if you absolutely must. Ideal to not
deparaffinize in the first place if you can't finish the stain. Dried out
sections is just a bad plan.
