Do Infrared sensors work in high temperatures?
Interesting. . . If you want to make it into something pendant etc. definitely stay away from super glue! (and plastic resin for that matter). Perhaps a thin lacquer would work better, i don't know. If you want to go in another direction perhaps learn about taxidermic entomology. It has a long track record. On the dark side perhaps consider taking your specimens alive, you will have control of their postmortem condition and thus more flexibility in your preservation techniques. Good luck.
You can adapt sweat fittings to regular pipe fittings. Check your local hardware or home center
1-moisturizer (let it dry) this goes on first because this is meant to soak into your skin, 2-sunblock this goes on next because its meant to sit on your skin like a shield,3-foundation and other makeups. Try using a moisturizer that has sunblock in it. :)
