We just use an empty lid top to the slide boxes. We save them as we load the slide printer, to be used for this and many other tasks.

I suspect one could use a cheap travel iron although one needs to devise a way to collect melted paraffin. Even our fancy para trimmer didn't have catch pan for paraffin drippings. I suggest using a new or receycled aluminum baking pans available in supermarkets, discount stores or a recycled frozen food pan without separations. These pans come in various sizes and depths. The joy is toss pans when full of paraffin.

They cost about $40. I mounted one upside down in a bucket and it works just as well as the $500 para trimmers. -Tony Auge HTL (ASCP) QIHC _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain information that is Proprietary, Confidential, or legally privileged or protected.
