Yes, you can put water on kinetic sand, but only in very small amounts if it's too dry.
While Kinetic Sand feels like it's always slightly damp, adding too much water will change its texture and make it sticky and less enjoyable to play with. The key is to add moisture carefully and sparingly.
How to Rehydrate Kinetic Sand
If your Kinetic Sand is dry and crumbly, follow these steps:
- Use an eyedropper: This allows you to add water precisely, drop by drop.
- Add water slowly: Start with just a few drops.
- Mix thoroughly: Knead the sand to distribute the water evenly.
- Check the texture: If it's still too dry, add a couple more drops and mix again.
- Avoid overwatering: The goal is to restore its original texture, not to make it wet.
What to Do If You Add Too Much Water
If you accidentally add too much water, don't worry!
- Let it air dry: Spread the Kinetic Sand out on a clean surface and allow it to air dry. Regularly knead it to help it dry evenly.
- Patience is key: It may take some time for the excess moisture to evaporate.
Kinetic Sand is designed to return to its normal texture at around 60% humidity, so with time, it should regain its unique properties.
