Yeah I tried freezing it one year and it sorta worked at making the pumkin extra tough as long as it stayed icy but as soon as the pumpkin began to thaw out the plant material degraded rapidly from all that excess water in it.

Well I guess you mean Jack.... not much you can do about that... nature will take its course once you have cut the pumpkin.
I suppose you can make sure it is not sitting in the sun.

I was told washing it in Bleach, soapy water would delay the rot process. We will definitely be trying that this year.
Jock-O-lantern...I got a chuckle from that.

rub vasoline on all cuts. also instead of cutting out the top cut the bottom out, then you can sit it on a candle instead of putting the candle in the pumpkin. does this make sence to you?

Not too sure on this one but i suppose if you have the room you could freeze it until you need to use it.

You can't. just a matter of time before it rots. Burn a candle in it for a couple weeks then give em' a good heave.

We either spray with an aerosol varnish or you can with wd40. The varnish works the best.

Try rubbing the cut edges and the inside with Vasoline. It works!!
