Clear-coating insects
I understand that there is a liquid that when it dries looks like glass. Some people cover scorpions or insects with it. Will some one tell me about it?

It is a casting grade of acrylic. Available from several industrial supply houses.

Hi Joe,
That thar liquid is PLEXIGLASS ... well, once cured it is. What you need is some liquid methylmethacrylate plus some catalyst or promotor. This is what Denturists use to make false teeth (except they colour them) Go look in your Yellow Pages for a Plastics Shop Supplier.
