Re: damaged pumpkin
I would dust it with Capton powder and let it air dry.
Covering it with tape may lead to problems. Pumpkins will heal
a gash and scar over. In fact, a commersial grower in Salinas
carves names on pumpkins while they are growing. The cuts scab
over leaving the permenant names and logos of his customers.
