I believe all my papercrete projects are cured out enough that I can start playing. After I removed the forms, I squirted them with water daily for about a week. The colors seemed to fade a bit, but more of the texture surfaced. I had used a cup of sand in the charcoal-colored mix and like the results. The sand also seemed to help break down the paper slurry while mixing. I'm happy with the result so far, even the ugly red rock, lol.
