We use the platinum series from Mercedes Medical - they are so hydrophilic, that if you place your section wrong on the slide, you cannot float it off and start over. We also take our sections at a backwards angle from the surface of the water: rather than lift from underneath - we put the slide in

Judith, When you pick up your sections are you getting a lot of water trapped between the tissue and the slides. I have had that problem when getting a new lot number of slides before and had to change them out. The tissue wasn't actuall falling off rather then being pushed off after the water
