At what temperature does cooked sugar dissolve in water? If left overnight, will a small browned chunk of sugar dissolve in acidic liquid?

Thanks

Yes, eventually, depending on how hard it was cooked to, the longer and hotter it will take.

Thanks

Why and for what?

Because I'm building a lighthouse out of caramel and i need to make sure that it will withstand the beating from the seasonal coastal storms.

My sarcasm detector is going haywire right now.

That's quite an undertaking. Have you done anything like this before?

My own experience is that such a construction won't stand up past a short while without a protective coating and a solid structural framing. But I was only seven years old when I built my sugar castle at the beach, and my skills were marginal.
