In conditioning clay you are trying to achieve a workable product with good plasticity. You can check plasticity by rolling a coil around your finger, and if it doesn't snap or break then the plasticity is good.   If the coil breaks it is either to dry or it needs to be conditioned by leaving it sit for a while longer.  TO properly store the clay for aging you will need to wrap it tightly in plastic 4-6 ml thick to prevent any air from getting to the clay, and store it in a cool dark place. . You're going to have to experiment with your clay and see how much aging it needs before the plasticity is right. Aging is be key to good working properties for the clay. Clay often benefits from a little bit of conditioning.
