Gently warm the clay in your hands or by placing it on a warm (not hot) surface for a few minutes. Avoid direct heat sources.

Ensure the oven temperature was accurate (110°C) and the baking time was sufficient (3 minutes minimum per 6mm thickness). Over-baking or incorrect temperature can affect durability.

Use a very sharp blade or craft knife for cleaner cuts, or gently smooth the edges with fine-grit sandpaper after baking.

Ensure you are using a clean, non-porous work surface. Lightly dusting the surface or tools with cornstarch can help, but use sparingly as it can affect the clay's finish.
