Does anyone here know how to keep the play-doh preserved permanently once you sculpt it? I ended up with a crapload of play-doh after a white elephant gift exchange (and believe you me I ended up with one of the better gifts). Anyway I was wondering if I could bake it or let it dry or cover it in nail polish...

Any ideas?

I think you bake it to preserve it, I remember doing such that when I was little.

Vacuum seal it?

if you just leave it out, it'll dry, but it gets sort of crusty.

bake it, then glaze with nail polish

ah...bake the nail polish it is then!

Why nail polish?

Ever eat that shit?

No...

Nail polish (and hairspray) form a weird glaze around things. I've used them to preserve dyed easter eggs and stuff.

Sounds good enough.

So if I wanted to live forever should I just dive into a vat of nail polish?

Go for it.
