I'm not going to ask why..........
Damien Hurst preserved half a cow and calf in formaldehyde. Maybe google that and see if you come up with anything helpful - or you could just chuck 'em in a pickle jar and hope no-one gets peckish.

Put them in a jar, pour in pure alcohol, keep at room temp and leave jar sealed. No I haven't tried this and no I don't plan to and no I didn't ask for them back after the op. But what ever floats your boat hun

A mixture of 70% proof alcohol and some glycerin is good for soft tissues, the solution needs to cover the object and the jar should be sealed tight so the solution doesn't evaporate(the glycerin also helps with this).
