Roger,
I remember someone telling me or reading article that you could
slow the drying process down by adding white vinegar to the mix. I
recommend performing a small comparison test to see if it does makes
a difference. What I don't recall is how much vinegar to put in the
mix. Give us some feedback on the results if you perform the test.
