I always wanted to ask but haven't been able to until now...

When you're building the strawman, do you do it while the straw is still wet and then wait for it to dry or do you wait for the straw to cure first and then build it?

I'd imagine fungus would be a key reason in the choice but I'm still unsure about the process and figured I'd ask an expert..

Thanks in advance!

Fun fact about straw, you have to keep the bales dry, because if they get wet they start to decompose, which generates heat, and since straw traps air, it's insulating, meaning it can get hot enough to catch fire!

After looking up a few tutorials for making a scarecrow, it looks like using dried filling is best.
