Betsy, Try the Paraplast Plus X-TRA. You can mix X-TRA with Plus (3:1) ratio is too hard for your blade. Good Luck! madelein...@elcaminohospital.org

Do you know if there is a “harder” paraffin that may offer more support to the tissue while cutting? I currently use Paraplast Plus and love it, but now I am cutting some polymer material and there is some tearing and was thinking that maybe a different paraffin would help. I am trying to avoid embedding in plastic.
