We've seen this problem before in our lab, and it was traced back to the mold release, just as Sheila said. Roger Heyna, BS, HTL Loyola University Medical Center

Lately I've been noticing that the sections made from blocks embedded in our lab are melting very quickly around the edges. The sections are also coming apart from each other when placed on the waterbath. The tissue remains intact, so I don't think it's a processing problem. Could this be due to residual water left in the mold mixing with the paraffin?
