How long does it take for the sugar to set when building the IKEA MALM Bedframe Holiday Gingerbread Furniture Kit?

[RiverRose]

When constructing your IKEA MALM Bedframe Holiday Gingerbread Furniture Kit, the sugar used as "glue" sets rapidly. You can expect it to dry and harden within a minute or two. For optimal assembly, particularly with larger gingerbread components, gently melt the sugar in a frying pan. This makes dipping the pieces much easier. Remember to handle the melted sugar with extreme care, as it will be very hot during this process.
