Store unopened packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

When stored correctly in its original sealed packaging, it can last for a considerable time. Once opened, it should be used within a few months for optimal workability.

Knead a very small amount of water into the clay. If severely dry, it may be difficult to rehydrate effectively. Ensure the packaging is always sealed properly after use.

Ensure the clay was not too thinly applied in vulnerable areas. Avoid placing the model in direct sunlight or near heat sources during drying, which can cause rapid and uneven shrinkage. Thicker areas may need additional support.

This is uncommon with FIMOair Basic, but if it occurs, ensure your hands and tools are clean and dry. A tiny amount of water can sometimes help, but avoid over-wetting.

Smooth the surface with slightly damp fingers during the modelling process. Once dry, use fine-grit sandpaper or files to achieve a smooth finish before painting or varnishing.
