So, here are a few questions:
1... are those the final pieces for the Santuary
or is it still missing parts to be made?
2... how many parts, total, to form the complete Sanctuary?
3... when was the first part made with the Durham's putty?***
4... when was the most recent part made with the Durham's putty?***
***objects made with the Durham's putty take about a week to fully cure
rock-solid.
After that length of time, you Might be able to wet-smooth it (wet finger rub),
or maybe Not... if the object cannot be wet-smoothed, then you're good to go.
While you're waiting for the most recent putty object to cure,
the very first putty object should be rock-solid
(Inside as well as Outside) by now.
...there were times when I've cured an object for an entire week,
and it felt rock-solid on the outside... but when I drilled into it,
the putty was still moist inside its core.
I guess I mixed a bad ratio (putty/water) that time. Such things happen.
If I'm not in a hurry to have the putty object, I let it cure for
about 2 or 3 weeks while I work on something else.
That way I'm not stressed out anticipating my new object.
As soon as I mix a batch to become an object, and sculpted it right
after its first day or two of curing I write down the
date/time that I began curing it; and when I finally handle the object
as a rock-solid type I also note the handling date/time.
Logging dates/times gives me reference for the next time I make an object
of similar size or mass, so I'm not wondering When the object will
be completely cured.
