I just gave you an easy and non restricted solution that works, bottom of the lage page.
Wow dude! That's so helpful of you! Thank you so much!
(But what do I ask for when I go to the supermarket or drug store?)
well if you're looking for ethanol I'd phone around to pharmacies or high school chemistry supply places or whatnot, then again with those gigantic american supermarkets you people have you might give walmart a try.
Ethanol shouldn't be hard to get, it's simply pure alcohol, just remember about the evaporation, and it might be expensive too. The government taxes alcohol pretty heavily so 70-100% proof alcohol is probably pricy as hell. (which is why the cheap spiritus alternative might work)
As for spiritus, I honestly have no idea what it's called in english, I just know that it's blue, strips paint and hobo's sometimes drink it. (if you're looking for active charcoal, try phoning a pharmacy, it's used in medication for upset stomach's active charcoal i simply something that attaches to toxins, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a cheap pill that is pretty much pure active charcoal)
Rubbing alcohol, U.S.P. / B.P. is a liquid prepared for topical application prepared from specially denatured alcohol and containing 68.5-71.5% vol./vol. of absolute (ie. 100%) alcohol. However, individual manufacturers can use their own "formulation standards" in which the ethanol content usually ranges from 70-95% v/v.
Thanks a lot everybody! I'll post pictures once I'm done!
im not sure maybe take it to one of those dudes that mount deer heads to placques and tell him its a pig heart for a educational display (obviousely before carving on it)

Rubbing alcohol maybe? Why not ask your friend who's getting the heart for you, surely if he works with them he would have some idea of what could be used to preserve it.
And yeah, I think formaldehyde is a controlled substance.
He specifically said "We use formaldehyde, I can't score any for you, whatever you're gonna use to preserve this is all on you."
So he's not much help.
Rubbing alcohol, eh?
Hmmmmmmmm...
I don't know about Canada, but here in the states you and your buddy could be in some serious trouble. As in prison time sort of trouble.
I know you're famous for publicly announcing illegal stupid stuff you plan to do, but maybe you ought to stop, or stop doing illegal stupid stuff.
And fuck, even without the legality issue, that is just unethical.

I am shocked that it took so long for ANYONE else to think this was a really creepy thing to do.

I was shocked that people knew what he was doing and continued to give him advice.
I was going to suggest he cut out his own heart and experiment with that using different preserving fluids, but he didn't seem to have the time to devote to experimentation.
