Answer 1

You need to buy the special pack that fixes the clay-one type is called 'mix quick'- you have to mix it with the crumbly stuff to make it soft again. It doesn't always work depending on how far gone it is.

For storage wrap the individual colors in tin foil then put them in a zip lock bag. If you are trying to store them for a while, then mix with some mix quick first, keeps it from drying out too fast.

Like they suggest here- grind it up to mix faster, and if it doesn't get soft then grind it and mix with soft new fimo to get a speckled look!

Nah, I'm afraid it's pretty much dead. You'll have to buy some new stuff.

In future, be sure to keep it in an airtight container, then it will last longer.

(But even in an airtight container, it won't last forever, a couple of years maybe)
