Abstract
Abstract A method for preserving and hardening animals for display includes the steps of injecting the animal with a preservative solution and a setting agent. No evisceration or other preparation except washing and sealing of wound openings is needed. The preservative solution includes an aqueous formaldehyde solution, a formalin neutralizer, a mold inhibitor, and odorant, and a drying agent. The setting agent includes calcium sulfate, sodium chloride, and water. The preservative solution and setting agent are injected into the animal body beginning near the midsection thereof and advancing outwardly toward the extremities of the animal. The procedure is periodically repeated.
