I remember the procedure.
1. Take off the cover slip and soak in xylene or substitute for 15 minutes.
2. Apply enough Mount Quick to cover sections and place in an 80 degree oven
for 30 minutes or until hardened.
3. place slide in tissue floatation bath for 1 hour or until the section can
be lifted off with forceps.
4. wet slide(s) that will receive the transferred section with water.
5 remove the section carefully. If the section does not come off easy, keep
in waterbath longer. This is important--- the side that was on the old slide
must be placed on the slide exactly how it was removed because this will
have a flat surface.
6. dry in oven again for 1 hour
7. clear, dehydrate and use as needed.
One problem I encountered was with plus slides. I had to leave the slide in
the floatation bath overnight to get better results, otherwise, only parts
of the tissue would transfer.
