Good question! I'd like to know that, too! But with any size specimen, please!

Really?  Liquid laundry soap?  Does this help with all wrinkles in large
specimens?

Add a few drops (4-5) of liquid
detergent, but not dishwasher detergent (because it will
dissolve the paraffin).

Please help!  We have been trying to cut whole eyes
from a pig.  They need to be
nice enough for a publication.  We are having the
devil of a time because no
matter what we do there are wrinkles.  If we turn the
waterbath up to stretch
things out the retina detaches.  Do any of you have
suggestions?  We uses
Surgipath  EM400 for embedding paraffin and and their
infiltration medium.  Is
this to soft? The lowest we can turn our waterbath is 38
degrees C.
