That's a good one! I knew about chloroform for that purpose, but who 
     wants to use that anymore? Unless you want to wake up face down in the 
     microtome...  jc

In addition to the heating all ready mentioned, you can also use an 
applicator stick that the tip has been dipped/soaked in toluene and wave it 
closely over/above the section ....either while its in your boat or still 
floating on water on the hot plate...this spreads the section even more. 
Don't touch the water or the section....
