Humid days mess with my clay... now I get why.

My clay gets too sticky when it's humid. I found out air moisture changes how clay behaves. So I wedge it less on those days.

My sculpture clay once got so soft overnight I could barely shape it. I had to wrap everything in plastic and wait for drier weather. Now I check the forecast before starting any detailed hand building. It's frustrating when the air itself works against your materials.

What humidity level makes it unworkable?

Oh that's a smart fix, makes total sense.

Consider how this fix might scale up under real pressure. Small changes often break when you add more users or data. I wonder if the original problem hints at a bigger design flaw.
