just let it sit (24 hrs) to set totally

if you need it to be done really quickly you can coat it the finished product with superglue. however, i wouldnt reccomend this for detail work, as i only really do it for quick fixes.

otherwise you just gotta let it harden!

it stays pliable for about 90 minutes give or take for the mix ratio...then it starts to set...24 hours is plenty but the standard 2 prt GS sets in 18 hours completely...although there is a bit of flex in it still......to make it harder add more of the blue...to make it stick better more of the yellow...older stuff may get tempramental to work with so make sure you knead it thoroughly before trying to model it...and remove any lumps of the stuff that won't mix as these will make sculpting and finishing your peice a pain in the bumm....

yeah wolfpack has it pretty spot on.

also if your GS comes with the yellow and blue rolls stuck together, id cut off a tiny line where the yellow and blue meet since that part would have started to set before you even bought it and thats wher emost of the aforementioned hard bits come from
