We also frequently cut toenails for PAS Staining among others.... we use the
liquid dial handsoap from our handwashing area mixed with very little water
to make a paste consistency and soak the block in that for about 20 minutes
and then cut at our workstations... works like a charm and doesn't affect
staining.
