Hi, Everyone. I have a technique question for you all. Recently, I had embedding rabbit muscles. The blocks were very dry. They were very hard to cut. Please share your experience with me. Thanks a lot.

Dry blocks that flake when cut are usually due to over processing. To recover the block soak it briefly in water. This will often allow you to get usable sections.
