I bought the compound from the store, but it won't let me put it anywhere. Where do I set it down?

Did you read the description in the store? There was a hint there.

Aha! I had tried all the places I thought to get the needed "mixing ingredient" but somehow missed one. Went and tried them again and found it this time.

Thank you.

YAY! That's why I like to give hints instead of solutions. It feels really great to figure it out yourself!

After you get them started repairing the wall...

was wondering myself...it barely did anything the first time

Is there any way to pick up the wall repair bucket, once you've set it down where it doesn't belong? I set it down by the hose thinking I could put water in it, now it won't let me move it.

Is the guiding hand trying to move it, or one of the peeps?

I have a question for this one, I started to clean up the wall and my lil guy walked away and I had him go back a bit later but the mix had dried up, so I was wondering, how long does it take for the mix to dry up on you? LOL I would feel stupid for wasting the money on the mix, only to let it dry up again.
