why is my salt dough soggy :(
did handprints in salt dough yesterday but its still soggy, feels like its melting does it need to go in a cold place to get hard like the garden? suggestions welcome xx

How long did you bake it for?
I find leaving them in the oven when you have switched it of helps and also using a pizza tray help them to harden up.
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

I have always baked mine couple hours at 100 degrees.

you can bake it on a low heat, about 100-120, for 3 hours or leave it to air dry for 2-3 days.
I've baked mine before but it rose, even though it's plain flour, and distorted the shapes, also the dough went a browny colour and wouldn't paint over, so now I just air dry it for about a week

You can bake them in the microwave too!

but as they are handprints and i wanted them to be tealight holders how will i fold the fingers up iyswim ??
you could bake them draped over a egg cup like shape, and then the fingers would hang down.
I do the dough handprint santa's/ Mine rose in the oven too - even in the oven i find they still take ages

i put mine in the oven at 100c for about 4 hours, they come out really good. somebody said about them on here, we made santa faces.

I know exactly your problem I did some hedge hog a few years back who nearly walked out by themselves
I think you need to make sure you put all the salt in the dough as I'm sure I reduced it and to dry them out I would put them somewhere quite hot like over a radiator or really near to.
I'm doing handprint next week and I don't want to bake them as they bubbled last time so hopefully it'll work :-)

You could put each one in a rounded bottom bowl in the oven they will come out as a hand bowl and the low low heat won't damage a china bowl. i done leaf bowls this way with air drying clay.
