  4. You can add more flour if you think it’s too wet, or more water if it feels too crumbly and dry. It’s ok if it sits for a few hours to harden up.

    I think I did something wrong. The dough took a few hours to dry enough for me to put my fossil in. And It’s still not dry yet today. Did I use too much?

    Could you use colored sand in place of dirt so that your fossil is colored?
