I am undecided between this big tub of 4 colors and the big box of 1oz individuals. Will this clay stay soft if kept in ziplock bags or tupperware?

YES, IT DOES. Actually I put each color separately in ziplock bags and collect them together in the can. The can itself is just a box for convenience storage, I think. hope it helps.

It looks like there is clay inside. I was told to initially soak the HotPac for 24 hours to fully expand. Then, when not in use, keep in air tight plastic bag. If not in use over longer interval, freeze it. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its capacity to hold heat.

i use saran wrap or zip lock bags, the saran wrap did better. the shelf life can be fairly short i have found (some of them dried up after 3 months.)

I re-wrapped (in zippered plastic bags x 2) my package and kept for several months (not much used at one time). Hope this helps!

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I would think it would easily fit in a quart-size glass jar - actually even smaller. I'd make sure it was an air tight jar.

Matthew, I'm no expert. All I know is that when the packs are dry, feeling like crunchy dry sand when squeezed and pressed and I put them in an air-tight Tupperware box with water in a small container in the box, within a few days they are soft and pliable - having soaked up the humidity/moisture in the enclosed container. Seems you'll have to try a pack and hope they fill your needs. Letting them dry out may be your biggest challenge....watching VERY CAREFULLY in an oven? VERY iffy! Maybe laying in the sun - with frequent checks. Just a thought.

Yes it is actually a soft clay. What people are explaining as "gritty", I am guessing, is after they mix it with water.

This like a clay. It hasn't clogged the drains yet but you don't use it every day. I know my daughter follows the instructions and doesn't over use it. She is on her 2nd jar. One jar seems to last her an entire year.

I have always been happy with this product and honestly didn't notice if it was hard before I opened it. I open the whole bag and put it into another air-tight container, and I have never had a problem.

This came to me in a sealed bag. Once you open it, it must be put into a jar or tupperware. The bag is not resealable

Well... It's not what I'd call flimsy but I do keep the bag inside a zip lock bag because it's so messy when you're getting in and out of it and I don't want It all over my cupboards. Suppose I could just dump it into another container... I'll continue to purchase it regardless of how it's packaged because I love the quality!

My container says keep in cool dry place. So mine stays in the cabinet. If it was in the fridge it would probably harden and then be hard to get out of the tub. :) hope this helps :)

Clay, I am not sure. I saw a set that looked identical at Lowes, I think we got a better price on Amazon for it though. Its not super heavy but its not cheap and thin either. If someone wanted to break into it, I think they could without much effort, if that is your concern. Its holding up very well, ours get a lot of use and they are in our garage which is open in the humidity all day long. We're happy with them for the price, it was a good value. And delivered to our door, that was the best!

I don't think it will I got my package in about two days and the temp here was 108 and it was fine as a matter of fact it was soft like Eucerin Skin cream but once I took it out the bag and put it in my own plastic storage container and put it under the bathroom cabinet it firmed up a little more. The directions say to store it in a cool place and that you don't have to put it in the refrigerator this way it's easier to rub into the skin hope this answer helps.

transfer into gallon size ziplock bags and use out of the smaller bags. or store in tupperware type container

I just open them the other day and the package says it last for about 3-4months but you have to keep them hydrated. They are very interesting and my kids think they are very cool. I actually didn't think about keeping them in a tupperware container, but that would work in helping keep the water from evaporating. Hope this helps!

First thing I found when using this putty is kneading it with my fingers until it is very soft and pliable. Then depending on how big the vase is use several small pieces to hold them in place.
