Hi Bryan, Mopec makes disposable cutting boards that can be cut to the right size. Here is the link: http://www.mopec.com/product/626/small_disposable_cutting_boards/ Also, thick cork board works very well. Lori -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu

Try coroplast panels from your local home renovation/hardware store and cut to the size you want with a utility knife. Also, make sure that the surgeon uses plastic pins, not steel, to avoid rust. Since they will probably float, turn them over so the tissue is in the fixative. Bryan -
