People keep mentioning ethanol or methanol. But what about isopropyl
alcohol? It seems to be by far the most available and cheapest in the US and
works quite reliably for me without buffering.

Although I've decided against trying to preserve animals long-term for space
reasons, the specimens I've kept for 25 years don't show any damage to the
shells. Anyone find differently?
