Please Help! Setting an Atlas moth!

I have this Atlas moth that I have raised and it has now passed, I have never set a ‘fresh’ specimen before! It’s currently in the freezer, do I need to do something with the body in order to prevent the fat destroying the wings? I’ve heard of using acetone but unsure how to get the body in the acetone and not the wings! Any advice would be really appreciated
