chrono_war01 said:Ok, Head of Science says that I should note a few things befor ebuying planes tickets for squids:
1) Is it really neccsary to send them to NZ to Dr. SOS
2) Will it break any custom's rules on sending these things
2) Formalin is extremly smelly, and I, Head of Sci. and the school don't have the proper certificates to give, or buy formalin.
3) Is it really neccsary to use formalin
4) How much would it cost.
5) Is the whole thing really neccsary.
Could anyone please answer the question above, please?
Also, how do I preserve things in baking soda, or will alcohol work?
P.S: Mom thinks that Dr.SOS wants baking soda is becuase it'll marinate well squid and all he has to do is cook it.

Steve O'Shea said:Ja, formalin doesn't smell that great, and you have to make sure that you use it in a well-ventilated room, and use the appropriate gloves!! But it is NOT as bad as it is made out to be.

Yeah, I always thought the rumors of formalin as a severe carcinogen and cause of many problems down the line including reproductive ill-health were overrated, too.
