We dry and heat the tissue surface with a hair-dryer at the grossing. It sounds a little bit rigid, but it works and the tissue margins are easily seen in the slide. The excess dye also will be solved in the NBF, but there sticks enough on the tissuemargins.

This is before the tissue even gets processed for paraffin embedding. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the ink from coming off? Thank you.
