I'm ancient; am 106 and on borrowed time, have had three makeovers, two hip replacements, three pacemakers, a ton of plastic surgery, seven wives, 64 kids, and two name changes after various relocations in the witness protection program. I am originally from Italy, where I used to grow olives (my wives used to stomp bare-footed on grapes), but I had to give all that away, and all of my wives and kids, ~ 40 years ago after blowing the whistle on the mafia.
Keep your formalin (concentrated) in a dark glass bottle, and keep it out of direct sunlight; store it somewhere where no 'little person' can reach it, preferably locked up, and have the bottle VERY CLEARLY LABELLED. How much formalin a squid will 'absorb' will depend on its size, and how long you leave the little beasty in the solution.
I will get organised next week and put a few sketches online to help you pickle this little fella down.
