Hi Dina,

You would need to face-off the blocks first and than soak them in something that
will rehydrate them.  We have a product call Mollifex for this purpose.  If you
would like, I can send you a sample.

Subject:  holes in tissues(lung)



Hello Histonetters,

I recently read in a book that when you have holes in your tissue(lung) its
because its overprocessed/overdehydrated.  What can I do about the tissue to
get rid of the holes?  Soak the blocks on piece of gauze with ice?  Do I face
the block to get to the tissue before soaking it? I need help depesperately!!

Any help is appreciated.
