When I was young my school class did a cool project while learning about ancient egypt where we were split into groups and mummified raw mini roasting chickens! I remember it really well 'cus it was so neat. I think I can give some tips for your try next year! 1) Use smaller pumpkins. 2) Plan for it to take at LEAST a month to dry them out, if not two or three since pumpkins have a lot of water. 3) Grain salt will work much better, and mixing the silica beads in with the salt would probably help too! 4) You need to fully replace all the salt every day at first, then less as time goes on as there's less moisture. 5) The salt on the outside needs to be held close to the pumpkin, and you DEFINITELY don't want to be using plastic cus it traps the moisture. Try using a bag made of burlap or cheesecloth or something similar that's only big enough to give you an inch or so all around the pumpkin to put the salt. 6) Absolutely expect shrinkage and adjust the size of the bag as needed to keep the space a close fit. 7) Since pumpkins don't have internal structure to help it hold its shape, you may want to create a sort of armature cage on the inside of them to help. Maybe thin strips of wood like bamboo or something?

@Unbreathless 2 yıl önce

From my repeated watches of ChubbyEmu's videos, I know that SALT causes water to 'move towards it'. But it doesn't like... destroy the water or anything. It just pulls it out of one thing, into the saltier thing. Then you have to remove that water. Also the Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

@tonymorris3935 2 yıl önce

The salt isn't exactly drawing the water out. It's breaking down the cellular structure of the pumpkins, which releases water, but also makes the tissues softer. If you really want a pumpkin to last, resin or not, you should freeze dry one.

I actually tried this a few years back, I salted it daily and wiped up the juices as they collected, but it still ended up molding over. Side note, gourds have been dehydrated into containers for years, and when researching it they advice to keep them in a cold dry place with good air flow, heat actually encourages mold growth, my rooms actually a fairly good place for that, but I also have a bad habit of just constantly burning candles in them. Yeah next year, don't carve them, put them in the room with the dehumidifier, turn down the temp place it on a grate so there's air flow under it, and then put a hole in the base and place it over a drip tray, which you should drain daily, and may be put a fan on in front of it, and then when it's hard and the seeds shake free inside carefully cut out the face.

A few tips to improve your results next year: -carve the insides to make a thinner pumpkin skin -pumpkin buttholes -use cloth or mesh to cover the holes to keep salt in while letting water drain -blow a balloon inside the pumpkin to fill 90% of the cavity, then fill with salt/silica -change out the salt/silica daily -dont cover

@cferracini 2 yıl önce

or... 1) remove pumpkin insides. 2) do NOT carve a face, leave it with only the hole on top. fill inside of the pumpkin with uncooked dry beans. 3) put inside a dehydrator (costs about $150 so I think it can be cheaper than getting bags of salt and silica in the long run, plus other cool experiments). 4) your choice of resin first and (remove beans) carve later (resin inside) or the opposite.

@raraavis7782 2 yıl önce

Or why not put the carved out pumpkin in front of a fan heater on low heat. That would work just as well as a dehydrator for a large object like this and who doesn't have one of those at home (or you can buy a used one for a couple bucks). I would at least partly dry them this way, before employing salt or silica.

@SashaSRenee 2 yıl önce

I would suggest putting them in upside down so it can drain through the large whole in the top (with the cloth/mesh covering the whole, of course). It would be much more efficient at draining and there would be no spots that have stagnant liquid on it. I would also use a bucket with a drainage spout instead of a bag and maybe have a thick layer at the bottom of clay beads, rocks, etc to create a drainage layer (like for plants or bioactive reptile enclosures) in case the spout outflow isn't enough to prevent pooling.

@madelinehero4353 2 yıl önce

freeze drying definitely might work better. also, i don't know how much the water softener costs, but you can also get salt very cheaply at a farm supply store. edit to add: covering definitely doesn't help, you probably just salt cured them instead of dehydrated

You need airflow for dehydration, if there’s no airflow and it’s covered in salt it’s called salt pickling. You might want to try again next year by filling them with the silica and then surrounding them with fans to help evaporate the liquid. Just a thought.

@shodri6634 Yıl önce

I think the ideal would have been to place them in buckets, drill small holes in the base to drain the liquid, since being sealed in plastic bags, the "sweat" has nowhere to escape and is kept in the same bag, that is why despite being on salt and dehydrated, they again absorb the moisture trapped in the bag, that is why they were soggy and mold appeared at one point too.

The problem with dehydration is that plant cells are basically water balloons, and when you pull the water out, it's going to shrivel. So you would need something to help it hold its shape. One thing you can also try is after you dehydrate it, do a stabilizing dose of resin. Basically you dunk it in resin (I think there's a specific type) and use either vacuum or pressure (can't remember which) to force it into the structure of the pumpkin itself. You pull it out before it's set, because it should have infused the cellular structure. Let it set, then give it a final coating of resin. I've seen this a lot on wood turning channels where they use a wood base and resin with a diarama on top. Thry first infuse the wood with resin.

I think that silica beads would work better since they absorb while the salt does something similar to the process of salt on ice. When added to ice, salt first dissolves in the film of liquid water that is always present on the surface, thereby lowering its freezing point below the ices temperature. Ice in contact with salty water therefore melts, creating more liquid water, which dissolves more salt, thereby causing more ice to melt, and so on. That’s probably why there was lots of liquid even though you kept adding salt. Edit: Or you could resin the outside right after you carve, then, dry out the inside then resin it.

I really hope we get another update on the pumpkin and that we get another pumpkin video this Halloween.

Honestly, I love these videos. If anyone can figure out how to preserve that perfectly carved pumpkin, itll be you guys.

After reading all the suggestions in the comments, I cant wait to see if they try again next year. I hope so! 🤞

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, i always appreciate your content, super entertaining and fun! Whether arts or crafts, successes and fails, it always turns out great and is a recipe for a good time.

I'm pretty sure the first video of yours I ever watched was your first forever pumpkins attempt, so this is really special to me!

Make small resin pumpkin decorative bowls. My idea is to cut a small pumpkin in half vertically and then dehydrate them (which will hopefully be easier 'cause they're smaller), and cover then in resin :) And I know you can't eat out of them 'cause that's a no-no

Hello. I enjoy your content a lot. Can really brighten up a gloomy day keep it up. I peeped this vid and was thinking you should try using silica crystals to dry the pumpkin.. Idk that would be interesting to see if it would work.

I've already watched this video so many times I don't even know anymore and I just want to say that your videos always help me stay positive even if it's just for the rest of the day. There was some really negative things that happened to me in October 2021 and these videos helped me put a smile on my face, that's what I'm mainly trying to say. Keep it up Evan and Katelyn!!

I love how Katelyn edits in the rest of Evan's sentences that he forgets to say. I do that so much as well I wish someone would do tha tfor me LOL

If you find a way to completely, or as close as you can, dehydrate your pumpkin, maybe stabilizing them initially, and then putting on external resin might work.
