Store gum paste in an airtight container at room temperature to prevent it from drying out. If you have leftover gum paste, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in the container. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat, as this can cause it to harden prematurely. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it, but allow it to come to room temperature before use to restore pliability.
