    i was going to let it air dry for a few days so it can harden a little more then i was going to start soak it. that will work right?

    sounds goods kind of alot of cement though.

    it will look really good once you soak it and the rock salt dissolves

    yes it should be fine

    and yes you can let them air dry before soaking you can also put them in the oven
