I haven't had any problem just using a beaker of water on a hot plate. 
     Put the vial in and monitor it until it liquifies. Then take the 
     beaker off the heat and leave the vial in the water as you use it (so 
     it stays liquid). Works for me.

I just received our sample of Histogel. Does anyone have any tips on 
using it without Richard Allan's heating and cooling block? Procedure 
should be user friendly for path residents. Thanks
