How to make a pumpkin last...

 

1. Bleach

 

The pumpkin should be soaked in bleach solution (1 tsp. bleach/gallon water) for 8 hours. Thereafter it should be sprayed daily with a mild bleach solution. The soaking and spraying is intended to hydrate the pumpkin flesh, while the bleach is an antimicrobial.

 

2. “Pumpkin Fresh”

 

We sprayed the pumpkin daily with commercial pumpkin preservative Pumpkin Fresh, as directed on bottle. The solution contains water, sodium tetraborate decahydrate (borax), and sodium benzoate (a preservative and fungicide). The label describes it as a “fungicidal solution”.

 

3. White glue

 

You can also coat the inside and cut surfaces with white glue. The dried glue is intended to seal the pumpkin, preventing dehydration.

 

4. Vaseline

 

Vaseline is also a good way to make your pumpkin live longer. The pumpkin should be coated on the inside and cut surfaces with petroleum jelly. This is intended to keep the pumpkin flesh from dehydrating.

 

5. Acrylic spray

 

Carved pumpkin can also be sprayed with acrylic finish spray. The spray is intended to seal the pumpkin flesh, preventing dehydration and acting as a barrier to mold growth.

 

 

 

You Lose.

Ive been contemplating doing a pumpkin this year, if I can make a decent DAO stencil ill attempt, but I dont see how it could be pulled off above a decent level.

 

Regardless ill do a lil sum sum.

I wasn't able to walk for the last 5 days cause of a fucked up ankle, so I missed pumpkin picking with both my niece on Saturday, and my godson on Sunday :(

 

This, combined with the fact that I've never had any skill at pumpkin carving, plus the fact that I'm just an incredible asshole, leads me to think I may be going out and smashing pumpkins for the first time in years
