2 things

How long does it take for the green stuff to fully harden? Does it change colour? As its coming up for 24 hours and its not fully set, yet.

Also

When it is set, can you glue items to it?

thanks

I usually leave it over night for it to harden, 6-8 hours maybe.

It does not change color. The only color change that happens, is when you mix the green and the yellow putty, turning it green.

Mhm that's strange, did you mix the two parts equally? What color is your greenstuff?

Yes, you can glue items into it, just ensure it's completely set first.

Yes, I mixed the blue and yellow parts together. There may be a little more yellow in the mix. I did use quite abit of water to get it right.

Its been nearly 24hours and hasnt 100% set

It should be fully cured by now. Green stuff always maintains a good bit of flexibility.

Aye, that's it: by now it's as tough as it gets, which for a thin piece simply isn't very tough. If required, you can strengthen the piece with some glue (something I occasionally do for free-flowing cloaks), make the piece thicker with more putty or look into other materials (e.g. milliput, which becomes rock solid when set).
