I've ordered some acrylic resins and am ready to start making plastic paper weights w/ roaches encased inside. One quick question, though. How would I euthanize them? I understand I can probably just stick 'em in the freezer and thaw them again, but that might cause some complicated issues with working with the corpse, and I'd rather not risk it since I got only one specimen to work with.

Is there any alternatives to the freezing method? And if so (I figure it'll probably be kinda chemical), where can I get the necessary materials?

I killed leftover superworms with windex, hope that helps.
