How To Preserve a Tarantula Specimen for Posterity
Step 2: Applying Encapso K
Measure equal amounts of Part A and Part B, by volume. Then, combine Encapso® K Parts A and B in a container and mix thoroughly. Since the Tarantula will float, pour a small amount of Encapso® K into the container covering ½ of the legs and the lower section of the body only.
Allowed Encapso® K to cure to a 'gel' state, approximately 1.5 hours before continuing. Measure and mix a second batch of material. Slowly pour to the lowest point of the container. Allow the liquid to flow around the Tarantula covering the highest point by ½ inch. Any residual bubbles on the surface will dissipate. Allow the Encapso® K to cure overnight.
