If you’re using store-bought putty, check the label to see if you can add in water or other ingredients. Lukewarm or cool tap water works well for this.

You can use any kind of lotion for this!

If the putty didn’t come in a container, use your own covered container for soaking and storage.

If you’re working with a large batch of putty, you might want to use more gel. Similarly, if you’re working with a smaller amount, you might want to start with 1 tablespoon (15 mL).

Wait around 10 minutes, or until the putty is no longer hot to the touch.
