Breathing is for the cryostat sections. Dryer sheets for the paraffin
sections.. It also helps to run screaming through the lab...

Subject: RE: [Histonet] Static issues
Breathing is my normal way to attack static, it's not a problem getting the
ribbon...there is so much static that when I pull it off the tome, it literally
sucks to my hand like a magnet...and then it's gone.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I am hoping to only have to deal with
this for a short while longer. I like the penguin idea just cause I think that
will be the funniest!!
Thanks again!!

This is New Mexico where humidity is a rumor. The humidity in the lab here -
as I write - is 18% and that's on a really wet day! If I have static issues
with my ribbons, I just lean a little bit toward the block and breathe on it
and the ribbons just float (in a good way) off the knife. I do that so often
that when I use my sewing machine, I find myself breathing on the material.
That's just sad! But try the Breathing Thing. Or not.
