Now I'm interested in how you embed so as to not have to scrape...if i
don't add enough wax (enough to end up rising around the edges of the
cassette, hence the scraping later), i don't get a secure hold of the
block to the cassette...

the scraping. It seems to me that clean embedding does the trick with a

I was wondering if I was the only one out there that rarely has to scrape
a block.

I try to embed so as to have a minimal amount of paraffin to scrape from
the blocks. ;)
But, I do scrape using the handle end of the same forceps I use to pick
up the ribbon and tease the sections. No sharp edge. No electricity.

Does anybody use a paraffin block dewaxer ?
Yep, it's called "my own two hands and a metal spatula", ha ha :) I find
that it's not only very quick, but quite accurate...
