Ya HA! lots of email coming in on formalin. yes, you can get it from the undertaker, the college and high school near you and probably the beauty salon too.
PAhunter86:
swing by any fish hatchery and ask for a baby food jar of it, it' ll last you the rest of your life.
here' s some info on formaldehyde, I like it--it works, those in the fish culture industry are up to their armpits in it for years, they use it for treating parasites.
sure some twitch but that' s the price you pay for hatchery fish.

WARNING: wrap the jar with labels and on the top saying poison.
I can introduce you to a guy that saw a jar full of walleye eggs in water and he thought he' d give the willies to the kids at the hatchery so he swallowed them right down. Yep. they were in formalin and he lost most of his intestines and part of his stomach from that stunt.
wear gloves and be smart with it, it only takes a few cc' s to do a whole tail, legs and wings(if you aren' t making calls of them)
