This is true but we received a block with this type of cover and I have been
asked to investigate.

Messageseems like a quick coat of paraffin from the embedding center would

  All:

  Do you know where I can order a plastic"cover" for paraffin blocks?  It is
something that snaps on over the exposed block face of an embedded block.
Vendors welcome!

  Thanks!
