We've seen this problem before in our lab, and it was traced back to the mold
release, just as Sheila said.

Are you using mold release? Sometimes that can cause what you are describing.

Subject: [Histonet] Water in molds
Hello everyone,
My question concerns the possible presence of water in the embedding molds.
Lately I've been noticing that the sections made from blocks embedded in our
lab are melting very quickly around the edges. The sections are also coming
apart from each other when placed on the waterbath. The tissue remains intact,
so I don't think it's a processing problem. Could this be due to residual
water left in the mold mixing with the paraffin?
