Stir while cooking, and cook until stiff
Allow this to cool, and cover with a damp cloth until ready to use

--HOW TO CARE FOR CLAY:--
Clay can always be broken up, dampened, and used again - even after it has been painted
When it has been used, but has not been allowed to become hard, poke holes in the clay with your finger or with a pencil, fill these with water (to restore the original dampness) and place in an airtight crock or in a galvanized pail with a tight cover
A damp cloth placed over the clay will help to keep it moist until the next time
