Is he saying that he embeds processed tissue and removes the chilled paraffin block from the base mold that it then swells up in the paraffin? Before it is trimmed and placed on ice?

He tells about paraffinblocks, where the tissue is swelling out while warming like a small hill. I referred to the possibilty of taking up humidity that causes swelling. Do you know other causes for this problem?
