Stem and Stump problems

ok, here is what i have done.  It may be wrong. it may be drastic but it's certainly a learning curve.
 
To the stump and the stem of the pumpkin itself i have,
 
1. Scraped away all soft/softening tissue
2. Applied bleach to the area
3. Let this dry and reapply the bleach a few times
4. although a little moist from the bleach i have dusted with hormone rooting powder (all i have at the moment and contans captan) and brushed off excess.  Hopefully this will work and keep the problem and bay.
 
Does this sound ok to you?
