Hard Barbola
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a quantity of Barbola which, through having been kept in a tin which was not air-tight, is now a solid block and quite useless. I should be glad to hear if anyone can tell me if there is a way of making it pliable again.
"Model."
A listener has helped me with this problem. She had the same experience with Barbola, and found that if one wrings a piece of rag out of warm water and puts it in the tin, with the lid tightly on, the Barbola becomes pliable again, She said you may have to renew the damp rag once, but that the cure is certain.
