After gently facing the block, soak in decal (surface decal) in a small
weigh boat with decal in it. There is a fine line between too much decal and
just right for sectioning, but this usually works for me.

Dear Histonetters:

I have a bone marrow core biopsy embedded in paraffin that needs to be
re-decalcified.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
