Insights into Play-Doh® Behavior
I have discovered that once separated from the whole, the individual Play-Doh® entities resist reintegration into the Play-Doh® collective. If this reintegration is forced, as in a process I have dubbed 'kneading', the over all plastic nature of the Play-Doh® is reduced. I will attempt to improve the reintegration process by adding a few drops of water. I hypothesize that the water will cause the smaller Play-Doh® entities to rejoin the larger Play-Doh® collective for protection from the wetness.
