[Histonet] Crusting lesions and thick cattle skin

[Rhonda McCormick via Histonet]

Hi!I'm looking for recommendations for cutting FFPE blocks that contain thick 
cattle hide/skin and crusting lesions. What do you all use to soften this kind 
of tissue?  Our lab has used Millifex, fabric softener, and nair.  We read 
ammonia may work to rehydrate the tissue enough to get a decent section. Has 
anyone tried that?Thanks in advance for your help!Rhonda
