Q. At what room temperature do you store Scola air-hardening clay? During the winter would it be best to keep it in a heated studio or unheated workshop? How long can I keep the clay without using it before it goes hard and is unusable? Thank you.
A. Hi Peter, thank you for your question. As long as the pack is sealed then it shouldn't dry out. Reseal the bag well after opening to keep air out. For an opened bag we would seal it and then place it into another outer bag to make sure. We do not appear to have any information regarding the minimum and maximum storage temperatures. We would suggest avoiding extreme cold and frost.

Q. Hi
Have just bought 12.5 kilos of Scola Clay. I am a miniaturist and therefore will only use a little at a time. How would you suggest I keep it between use as it might be several weeks between use and will clearly start to dry out if exposed to air
A. Hi Linda. Thank you for your question. Just make sure the bags are sealed really well - as they are delivered - and the clay will stay in the same form as it is originally - as long as they are not exposed too long in air they should last a long time.

Are there and fumes? does the nylon burn out and create fumes?
