I carve the pumpkin, and it looks good for about two days before withering.

Lightly bake it after carving maybe? (what temperature and how many minutes?)

Is there a way I can soak it in some preservative like formaldehyde without starting the Great Fire of London?

    without starting the Great Fire of London?

    Thanks a lot, i really needed that chuckle.

    Now, basically we need to dry them. We can either drown them in varnish, or burn the insides but it wont be as effective.

    Just this year I learnt you should carve out the top (stem) part. Apparently there’s some nutrients/water, magic, or something, left in it; and if you leave it uncut it will help the rest of the pumpkin look better for longer.

    Cut out the bottom, or a hole in the back, instead.
