Hi,

You'd probably be best building it up in layers of no more than 1/2 an inch thick. Wait for each layer to dry thoroughly before adding the next one. If you do it all in one go it will take a lifetime to dry. If you put an electric fan on it this will speed up the drying time.

Hope the furniture turns out well. Come back and tell us about it later on.

No, the structure won't be weakened if you do it in layers, and they won't come apart. But do let each layer dry thoroughly - that's very important. Pulp shrinks when it dries so it will be a slow process. Hope you are not in a hurry for your furniture! )

Incidently, unless you are making dolls furniture or full size furniture for display purposes, you are almost certainly going to need some sort of reinforcement. Very strong cardboard tubes, pieces of wood or metal - anything you can easily get hold of. It would be awful to see all your hard work going to waste!

Hope this helps.
