You can soften plumbers' putty by soaking it in water overnight. Another way of achieving a soft putty is to microwave it. These are just the outlines of the processes. I have explained three methods in detail regarding how to soften plumbers putty, so you can execute the process at home.

How to Soften Hardened Plumbers Putty?

Here are a few effective ways to soften hardened plumbers putty at home.

  1. Place the plumber's putty in a jar and pour lukewarm water on top of it. Then, let the putty soak the water overnight. The next morning, keep the container inside a big bowl filled with hot water. Then, try softening the putty by squeezing it.

  2. Another method is to microwave the putty. Keep the putty in a microwave-friendly bowl, and then add a bit of hair gel to it. Knead it a bit and place it in the oven for around 2 minutes. Take it out and keep it aside to cool. You can then do an inspection to check whether the putty has softened or not. You can redo these steps until you gain the desired softness.

  3. In this process, place some over a flat surface. Wear protective gloves, and add 2 tablespoons of water to the putty, and knead it with your hands. After a while, add a bit of hand lotion to the mix and continue the kneading process to further soften the putty. 

These are my three recommended ways through which you can learn how to soften up plumbers putty. I hope this helps you.
