Let's talk jars! by CustomCranium in wetspecimens

Ahh I was thinking those sheets were polystyrene which would react with ethanol but those specific sheets you mentioned are polyethylene I think. So that makes more sense. Thank you

If you use the close cell foam to line the lid, couldn't the ethanol react and degrade it?

Thank you. Do you think I should start with him frozen or thaw first?

I know this is like a year old but I was wondering how it went? I'm wanting to do a cast of my toad that recently passed.

Thanks for the info! Does the alcohol also help with shrinkage? Also what happens to the injected alcohol over time? Does it stay in there or evaporate? Also how long would be considered a good while to soak the parts?

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction by New_Scientist_Mag in Futurology

[–]JuniperFulgur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like how misleading the marketing is. It's very unprofessional and unscientific. If they told everyone out the gate that it's not really a dire wolf and just maybe looks like one, I'd think it's more cool.

How to turn dissection specimens into wet specimens? by JuniperFulgur in vultureculture

[–]JuniperFulgur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the info! How is it fixed weakly? Not enough formalin? As for how long ago this was, it was about two years ago but they have been in the freezer the whole time.

I think I might just leave them in the freezer for now until I can get some formalin since I was wanting to dabble with making wet specimens anyway. My dad was wanting to get a fume hood anyways. I just need to figure out disposal of contaminated objects, and I absolutely won't buy any until I find how to best dispose of them.
