*You can keep in the refrigerator for a week.
When you want to use it, let it come to room temperature and give a little mix.
*Be aware it will go mouldy if you don't use it. So don't make a huge batch if you don't plan on using it all within a week.
*You are able to store the lace in a plastic zip lock bag and to restore the elasticity, place a slightly damp cover or paper towel on top. You don't want to do this for too long or you will destroy it.
*The water you use can affect the outcome. Your best chance is using distilled water. Avoid mineral, fluoride, or tap water.
