For people who cant be home to change ice bottles, could you put a cooler over the pumpkin and have a fine mister spray over it constantly all day. It would be about 2 gallons per hour. It wouldnt be something you would what to do all of the time

So you are going to mist the outside of the styrofoam cooler? Just cover it with a reflective cover for additional heat reflection.

Whiz it seems like some people are still having problems keeping things cool,Yes I thought spraying the cooler all day would keep it cool
