How do you get an indestructable conker?
Found this on the interweb but it looks like cheating.......
CUT across the top of the conker in both directions. Peel back the skin at the top, using a small knife, then scoop out the centre. Fill the hollow skin with nuts, bolts and washers; mix up some fibreglass resin with hardner and pour this into the conker skin. As this is setting, push the flaps of the skin back into place at the top. Wipe off any excess resin and allow 24 hours to cure. Use an electric drill to make a hole for the string; touch up any marks with acrylic paint, and you're ready to start winning.
