    At the beginning of February I asked for recommendations when processing
insects with a chitin skeleton. Result and many thanks, it worked a treat,
chloral hydrate and phenol. The chitin just slipped over the knife producing
lovely ribbons. When asked how it was done, "ah, this is for the
cognoscenti, a skill that takes years to develop." Again, many thanks. The
original e-mails are on my laptop, you'll get full recognition in my
techniques book and formulary.
