I have been using 'home-made' zinc fixative since about 1972, when I first saw it written up, but usually just as a secondary fixative. (My colleagues have always taken the view that "real men" don't need to see slides properly prepared to make a diagnosis).
On and off however, we have had problems with slides lifting/curling, and today, practically the lot fell off.
Me and my zinc got called nasty things:-(

Anyone else had this problem?
Advice?

NB No adhesive being used.
