There actually is. You can either spray the inside and cut surfaces with hairspray, or smear them with Vaseline. That will seal it from the atmosphere and it should last a lot longer.
I actually didn’t know if it was or not. I did some research and apparently it’s not.
“Vaseline is not very flammable. Though it is made from petroleum (which can be very flammable) it will not ignite easily in most situations.”.
There was a magical cure for this back in the day. In ancient times pumpkins like these were displayed outside where the weather was cold enough for them to keep for weeks. Now that we’ve raised the planet’s temperature, that isn’t a good option in many places.
Was hoping someone had magical cure for this

Hairspray seems kinda flammable… But you sound knowledgeable enough 🤣
Yeah it’s best if you spray it on well in advance of lighting the candle…
As opposed to Vaseline?
