I have my first (and favorite, Twiggy) frozen and waiting to be mounted. There is a method in which a specimen can be posed and submerged in a display jar filled with sanitizer. My plan is to dry her in a pose and attach her to her favorite stick before submerging her into the sanitizer. I considered the traditional pinning, but her underwings were damaged when she molted to adult and I want a closed wing mount. 

Has anyone ever mounted a specimen using this method who can provide some tips or tricks?
