I've just conditioned an old block of Premo Black Polymer clay that I had laying around for a while and I gotta tell you "It was as touch as an old tire... you know like one left out in the sun for ages".
I could tell as I was slicing it up that it was going to give me a hard time. Every slice was dry with white bits. Thank goodness for the Sculpey Clay Softener.
It only took about five or six drop of the clay softener and a little bit massaging to make it right as rain. I nearly thought that I was gonna have to bring out the ole' food processor. Good thing that I didn't have to go that far with it. Anyhow, all's good!
Okay, now to get back to the claying table. No rest for the weary.

Happy to hear you are working hard at creating new masterpieces. I can relate - I've had clay like this too, usually a colour I didn't really like and avoided using!
Thanks, Wilma. Gosh, it's such a relief. I just finally finished working on a booklet for the local high school on a polymer clay class that I'm running on Tuesday and Wednesay. That's what the black clay was for. I'll post up pics shortly.
