How does clay soften when it dries? In order to preserve the dry ultra-light clay, I can cut the ultra-light clay into small pieces, and then put the cut ultra-light clay into a container and soak it in water for about ten seconds. . It only needs to be on ultra-light clay.

Then drain the water in the container and put the ultra-light clay in a warm environment for a period of time. After the water disappears, please continue to rub it by hand to restore its softness. Usually, in the process of kneading ultra-light clay, it will gradually become softer and more sticky.
