Autumn is upon us- how does one harden one's conker to maximum strength?

Make sure your conker is clean, symmetrical and flawless.

Save a couple of nuts every season, since the hardest nuts will be those of yesteryear.

Lacking conkers from last season, "laggies", you can harden your new nuts by:(i) Briefly baking them in an oven
(ii) Applying clear nail-polish on them
That said, you can always put your email address anywhere on the internet and you'll have plenty of suggestions in your inbox in no time.
