Positioning of arthropod limbs and antennae

["Mantid"]

I often need to position the limbs and antennae of dead insects in
order to do very close-range photographs. Does anyone have any ideas on
how the parts can be kept in place without a long drying period. I have
tried such things as transparent nail polish and varnish but neither
work very well. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. At present I am
trying to keep the mandables of a King Cricket in an extended position
so that they can be clearly seen and illustrated.
