We have tried all different kinds or paraffin and have come to the conclusion that it isn't the paraffin, but i'm thinking it might be another factor causing this. This does not happen everyday, but sporadic. Does anyone have any suggestions on something we can do to reduce the stickiness? Andria B Evans, HTL(ASCP)CM Anatomic Pathology York Hospital 1001 S.
