How to kill pollen to yield mentor pollen

How does one kill pollen to that it can act as mentor pollen for wide crosses? I've heard of alcohol and irradiation. For the amateur, alcohol seems a good way to go, but which kind and how?

I'm envisioning sprinkling the pollen in ethyl alcohol (what %?), letting it dry, then using it. Am I close?
