I passed my HT practical the first time, and yes, I used an automatic
coverslipper that uses tape.  The tape was no problem.  I have extra stomach
and spinal cord.  I would be happy to send some to you.  Please send me your
address and I will get it to you.  You can fax your address if you would like
to: (903) 592-0555, Attn.: Jeanie Wade, or you can send me your address.
Mine is:

Jeanie Wade, H.T. (ASCP)
Pathology Associates of Tyler
901 Turtle Creek Dr.
Tyler, TX 75701

Good luck with everything.  Put your heart and soul into this.  It is worth
every bit of effort.  I love my profession.  The Lord has blessed me well.
