We adhere nails to slides using diluted (5% or so) yellow wood glue.
Haven't lost a nail since!

Dear Histonetters:

 

Do you have a consistent procedure for cutting nails?  I am using ammonia to
soak the tissue and PLL coated slides but the nail tissue falls after
performing some special and immuno stains.

 

Thanks,

Milton
