You aren't supposed to let water based clay out to dry. You make the dividing wall as soon as your ready to mold. Otherwise, I suppose you could have covered it with a garbage bag.I'm no expert, but it seems too late, you may have to restart the dividing wall.

Oh whoops thanks guys.

BTW...Your clay wall should be at every point a 90 degree angle to your sculpt. It should also be as flat and smooth as possible.....don't forget registration keys and pry points......if anything I mentioned sounds foreign, STOP MOLDING NOW! YouTube has tons of videos on molding that can help. (videos by "brickintheyard" especially)Good luck!
