And we just realized that they offer for free -- a pattern & how to guide for download. You will have to enter a name and contact info but there isn't a charge. Here's the link to the page.And be sure to check out the whole website as it's invaluable for info. Want an example? Here's an in depth experiment they did on ways to preserve your pumpkin for a longer time frame. For those of us that would like the answer -
The Answer? Chlorox Clean-Up Cleaner with Bleach. You could probably use any cleaner with bleach in it, but I used Chlorox Clean-Up in the experiment and it worked really well.
So, I suggest you go into the cleaner cabinet as soon as you are done carving and spray away. I spray all of the cut surfaces as well as the entire insides. Don't forget to do the underside of your pumpkin's cap, it doesn't get a free pass.
This one application seemed to increase the shelf-life of your pumpkin by 100%, all for just one spraying. I suppose you could do even better if you sprayed it every few days, but I didn't. After all, it's time on earth is fleeting.
