angel i thought they would dry quickly but i was wrong. I think i started sat and then put more layers on half wet layers sunday. Monday night i added a few more (now up to 5) and it didnt completely dry till boxing day evening. That was with newspaper/wrapping paper. Yesterday and today i have added a full layer of tissue. There is a tad still wet but i am trying to do this in halfs now, I dont expect it all to be done and ready to paint (the bits) till at least monday/tuesday :rolleyes:

You could it it on a wire baking tray above a heater and leave it overnight. Just make sure it isn't actually touching the heater or liable to fall in the middle of the night - it'll be done by tomorrow

If you have no way of doing that, you could always pop him in the oven when it's cooling down after cooking a meal

I'd leave the door open to be on the safe side and make sure it's cool enough not to melt the balloon inside.

Hi Mumzy, hope you had a lovely time at Christmas. Phil is filling very slowly as I don't use cash that often, but it's always something saved towards next Christmas

See i am having this problem :think: i seem to be using my debit card most of the time to stop me spending cash just because i have it. Then beacuse of super paps savings (see sig) i am transfering it all into my savings accounts online.
