staining for mucin on frozen sections

From:Andrea Grantham

Good morning! Went out of town to a wedding this weekend and still feeling 
a bit fuzzy this morning - the question has come up about doing stains for 
mucin on frozen sections. If you cut the frozens and fix in 10% formalin 
would you get the same results as with paraffin?
