Best Answer

Put it in a container or wrap it up to stop it reacting with the air.

If this is true putty it will contain linseed oil ( not to be compared with cooking oil) This can be added and blended in to make the putty more supple, it can be wrapped in grease proof paper and placed in a sealed plastic container. This is an old method used by glaziers

Is silly putty soft?

No, it does not harden! It is always playable, even if you forget it on your desktop. The only way to harden silly putty would be to expose it to extremely cold temperatures. For example, Silly Putty hardens when put into liquid Nitrogen. It will harden the putty, but it will regain its texture as soon as it warms up.

How do you remove plumbers putty?

Get a candle and use it to heat your putty knife. It will slice though the old putty like butter. Just keep reheating the knife. The best way to soften plumber's putty is to add a little linseed oil and allow it to sit overnight. Knead the putty thoroughly. This won't do if you're in a hurry, so you could try to hurry it along by kneading it with a very small amount of linseed oil (use gloves). Remember to keep the consistency a little bit thicker than Play Doh.
