Troubleshooting

Dough has become dry and crumbly.

Try kneading a tiny amount of water into the dough. If severely dry, it may no longer be pliable for effective use.

Dough has stuck to a surface.

Gently scrape off excess dough. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to clean the surface. Ensure the surface is non-porous.

Tools are not extruding dough effectively.

Ensure the dough is soft and pliable. Pack the extruder firmly but avoid overfilling. Experiment with the different extruder plates for varied effects.

Colors have mixed unintentionally.

This is a natural part of dough play. If separate colors are desired, ensure hands and tools are cleaned between colors. For a clean start, use fresh dough pots.
