Lili, instead of wrapping them in plastic, I sometimes use wax emulsion.
Just a light coat where you want to retard drying. Works great, mix with
extra water to thin, and apply about leather hard stage. As it dries the
wax coating becomes porous, and the piece begins to rapidly dry, but this
is usually when it is well beyond the leather hard stage.
