Dear all:

I work in a dermpath lab where we receive numerous toenails for processing.  
We have no problem with processing, the trouble occurs trying to keep the 
nails on the slide for H&E or PAS stains.  There is gelatin in the water 
baths.  We have used pol- poly-l-lysine slides, positively charged slides, 
Elmer's glue slides and we leave these cut slides in the oven for 1/2 hour or 
an hour.  

Does anyone have secrets for toenails?  I would greatly appreciate any 
suggestions.

Thank you 

Jill Gilbert
