I need to preserve crabs so I can use them in my artwork. What kind of solution to I need to soak them in and for how long? Someone told me once that a mixture consisting of borax might do the trick. After they are preserved of course, I need to make sure they don't have an odor (as with anything else, I imagine) HELP! I know NOTHING about any of this.

Hate to say it but it's your best bet to click on the search button and type in "preserving crabs."
Get some Preservz-It from any of the suppliers. It has directions on the bottle on how to preserve these creatures.
when i get crabs, i dont want to preserve them, i go to the supermarket and buy some stuff in the medecine section ot the store. Just pour it all over your body and work it in real nice. Then in a couple of days the itching is gone.. its like magic!
You sound a little too experienced in this field! If it was me, I'd start going to a different bar. LMAO!
