How to Soften Air Dry Clay
Lightweight air dry clay will dry at room temperature. Therefore, when you play for a period of time, it will harden, which is normal.
- Spray water
The method of softening hardened air-drying clay is simple. All you need to do is spray some water on the surface of the hardened air-dry clay, knead it for a while, and it will soften again.
Light air-dry clay contains water, and when the water has completely evaporated, it dries and hardens. At this time, the clay is hard, and it is difficult to soften it with a small amount of water. You’d better soak it whole in water and wait until it absorbs enough water and it will soften again.
Maybe it would be a good idea to replace it with new air-dry clay, as the above process can be lengthy. And you could let it absorb too much water if carelessly, and the clay will become sticky and difficult to shape.
- Sealed and stored
It follows that when you need to store lightweight air-dry clay, the first thing to pay attention to is waterproofing. Because air-drying clay absorbs moisture from the air, causing it to soften and become moldy. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid premature drying and hardening caused by the evaporation of the original water.
