Subject: Sources for Canada Balsam
I am looking for vendors/sources for Canada Balsam (pine adhesive for thin-sections) in order to make thin-sections for microscopy. I have used, and would like to discontinue using, various commercial epoxies. Besides the noxious smells, I find epoxies very awkward. I want to return to the tried-and-true old-fashioned method of using Canada Balsam which has never given me any trouble. Unfortunately, since moving from New England, I have been unable to locate vendors. Does anyone know of reliable vendors? Thank you in advance.
