Day 4 & 5 of the process...

Onto the following couple of days I began to try gluing the sugar cubes together in a dissolve-able Elmer's Glue. It was tricky since I know that sugar tends to begin to dissolve and crumble when wet. After giving it some thought, I decided to use a quicker drying agent: rubber cement.

Day four

I was beginning to see a possible problem while I was applying this to the cubes... with too much pressure from my fingers, the sugar was threatening to crumble.

Day four

So, I left them alone overnight in hopes that it would dry and regain some strength.

Day five accomplished

Success! I can pick up the rectangle with care and it stays together. Yay!

Now, I'll have yo test out 2 cubes with glue and in some water to see how well it can stand.
