Is my graft okay?

[HortyCulture]

I am new to grafting and my first attempt is Peyote on to a Bridgesii. It seemed to go okay, but it is day 11 and the button is wrinkled and soft to the touch. Is this normal?
It seems to have a good contact all around and otherwise looks okay, albeit with a slight discoloring.

Put it in a more controlled environment away from too much direct light or very cold temperatures. If you've grafted it successfully it should bounce back fine.

Thank you. I will move it to a more shaded area.
How long does a graft take to finish, approximately?

It'll pulmp up over the next couple weeks or so, as the root stock transfers water and nutrients up the new scion.

How's the graft doing now? I attempted a similar graft of peyote onto bridgesii but it failed to take. Ime, PC pachanoi ('pachanot') makes a far better grafting stock, although what you have there as a "bridgesii" looks nothing like mine (too many spines per areole, and a lack of longer spines). I'd be inclined to say it might be more in the direction of a macrogonus/peruvianus although I won't lend that as much confidence as the previous statement. Was your specimen - perchance - mislabelled? This may work out in your favour with the graft.
