While sectioning paraffin embedded tissue on a rotary microtome I noticed the sections sticking to the blade holder and bunching up. What do I need to do so that my section come off the blade in a ribbon? Please note that this is my first time in sectioning tissue and this is a learning exercise for me. Thanks in advance for your suggestions .
