Solidify, harden (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set

This clue is a double definition.

'solidify' is the first definition.
(I know that set is a more specific form of solidify)

'harden' is the second definition.
(set can mean to go hard or dry)

(Other definitions for set that I've seen before include "Solidified" , "Major division of tennis match" , "Gel; group" , "Put down the tennis group" , "(Of the sun) drop below the horizon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
