I prefer paraffin, but if you get the block warm enough it works without.

I would like to know how many people embed out of paraffin at the embedding
center, and how many transfer the blocks to the embedding chamber and embed
without immersing them in paraffin at the embedding center?
All replies and explanations will be appreciated!
