Hi Rob,
        So far so good, I,m luckily blessed with an old microtome so I can
just clamp its plates  on to the gelatin capsule or  stub of a block made
fom the plasic moulds.  I cured  a block of lr white last night  in the
oven without activator at 60oc  and cut it with an old steel knife so far
so good!!!!! The sections wrinkle when they come off the knife but with a
bit of technical agility I managed to get them on to the slides.   The next
step is to process a .chick head. Thank you for your advice.

Kind Regards
Jill
