How do I mount a dragonfly to a plastic post?

I have a dead dragonfly that landed in my backyard.  I is in remarkable
condition.  There are no broken bits along the wing edge or damage to the
limbs.  I would like to mount the specimen in a small plastic display box
for safe viewing, but I don't know what type of cement to use.  I don't want
to just stab a pin through the body.  I would like to use something that
does not dissolve the insects body, but yet strongly secures the specimen to
the post.  Anyone have some advice for a non entomologist?
