Actually, the easiest way to preserve a dead loricariid (without recourse to a museum or boiling) is to slit open the abdomen, remove the viscera, and then place the carcass in a very dry place for about a week or two (of course, you have to make sure no bugs or rats will get at the carcass).
The good thing about loricariids is that once you remove the viscera, they dry with very little trouble.
Add a coat of lacquer once the fish is completely dry for protection and voila!

My wife made the mistake of buying me a 2 ft tank and it grew to 7ft.

Put it in a woodshavings-filled bucket with a handfull of Buffalo worms or Maggots; they'll clean out the meat and leave the armour intact.
I've dried my share of Loricariids and other critters, by using a container filled with that white sand you can buy for your Parkeet, whatever it's called.
Mummyfied them.
but none were bulky. I have a Giant Millipede and a fine 10" Sturisoma barbatum completely preserved this way.
But those have much armour and little innards, so to speak. A Panaque is much bulkier; much more innards and muscles to stink up the house....

preserving /de-fleshing Loricariid
Last week I joined the Stockholm cichlidgroup to a visit to the naturalhistoric museum. We were guided by scientist Sven Kullander through the museums huge collection of alcohol-preserved fishes! "Mortoichtys spirituosus"
They also had lots of fish skeletons there! They for sure have a method! I found their e-mail adresses on the web page, and I am sure they would help you:
sven.kullander@nrm.se
erik.ahlander@nrm.se
The web page is http://www.nrm.se
Lykke til! / Good luck!
