Carnoy is already in absolute alcohol.  There is no reason to go back to
95%.  We have processed a lot of Carnoy.  I can give two references and
will attach a procedure in a direct message to Marykay. We process through
Absolute, methyl benzoate, xylene & paralast.

Methacarn which is simply Carnoy with Methanol substituted for the ethanol
