Thanks. I am usually dealing with large volumes of outside blocks
embedded in who knows what kind of paraffin.

	We just use the embedding station.  Set them on the hot plate or
set them into the molten paraffin.

	Hi everybody: 
	  
	Just curious as to what oven temperature is generally used for
melting down paraffin blocks for re-embedding.  Is there a temperature
that is generally considered too high either for the paraffin or for the
tissue?

	
	Thanks!
