I dont have any problems with Wed drying out too fast and Im in a very dry climate. I can sculpt very fast but I actually prefer to take my time with Wed. When needed I give the clay a light spray down with water and simply bag the sculpt, this is all you need to do when not working on it. I have had Wed clay heads last 3 months with no cracking. You can add Glycerin to water in a bottle and this will keep things very moist however I never do this and I actually rarely spray my sculptures down. I like them to dry out so I leave the sculpt un bagged on purpose through out the day and I almost never spray it so the clay will harden up. I have no problem sculpting the same details as you would in hard oil based clay. Anyways its all personal preference to what you like.Casey
