Cure dry rock then glue.. or vice versa?

[nim6us]

I’ve got a load of dry rock, I just laid it out to be sure I had enough. However now I’m wondering should I glue it together first then put it in the Brute bin for a few weeks. Or can I cure it for a few weeks first, then let it dry and glue it together after.

I’d prefer to glue it after that way I could be sure to fit all the rock in my bin and I wouldn’t have to worry about breaking any arches. However if there’s a reason I should glue it first I don’t want to make anything harder for myself.

Thoughts?

I would glue all the small pieces as much as you can and leave the big pieces to glue after curing.

Either way will work so whichever is more convenient. At the very least, you should rinse the rock prior to gluing anyway.
