It should never dry.
Sometimes it becomes brittle... But it usually takes several years for even THAT to happen.
The oils can dry up somewhat (this is what can make it brittle).
Roll it around in your hands for a few minutes, usually the oils from your hands is enough to get it nice and ply-able again.

Actully, the putty it truly is used for sink drains, putting fawcets ect, isn't meant to get puzzling; it continues to be kind of like oil clay. no matter if it truly is getting throughout you once you take advantage of the sink, i'm guessing he did not tighten the preserving nut adequate to squeeze out the added putty, or the drain assembly doesn't in nice condition the sink. even as it truly is practice good, there should be no seen putty, and none coming off on you both!

I think most of these answers are confused with caulk. yes, it will become brittle and dry up eventually. the amount of time just depends on how much is exposed and the heat exposed to, etc...

Does not "dry". It will cure. Stays pliable to form a seal.

No. It's oil-based, repels water, and is never supposed to dry, shrink, crack or harden.

Not really it like a rubber gasket that stays plyable.
