• Impression is not clear: Ensure the clay is kneaded thoroughly and flattened evenly. Apply firm, even pressure when making the impression. You can re-knead and try again if needed.
• Cracks appearing during drying: This can occur if the clay dries too quickly. Ensure the drying environment is not excessively hot or dry. Small cracks are sometimes a natural characteristic of air-dry clay.
