Gourds
 

I have acquired some gourds of different shapes and colours and would like
to preserve these to use decoratively. Anyone any tips?

Thanks.

Dry thoughroughly then external PVA.

Or you can use glycerin I believe.. SOme gourds store better than

Thanks Jim. Should I dry them in the airing cupboard, and should I dilute
the PVA?
