Dear all, anyone who's new need advice on how to preserve a moon
snail sand collar? I have a method, and I am dying to share it.
 
Here it is:
 
Take 5 average spoonfuls of Elmers glue, and 15 average spoonfuls of
water.
 
Mix together. Make sure you get a watery, but not translucent, mixture.
If you get a thick mixture, add more water.
 
Put sand collar into mixture and let sit for 1 hour.
 
Remove sand collar from mixture.
 
Put sand collar on paper towel to dry in the sun, moving it occasionally
to prevent sticking.
 
Let dry for about 2 hours, then display!
 
This method worked great for me!
 
Kind Regards James
