Instead of using white glue, you can make slime using clear glue , which will produce a translucent slime. If you don't have borax, you can use contact lens saline solution, which contains sodium borate.
Slime has two components: a borax and water solution and a glue, water, and food coloring solution. Prepare them separately:. You also can mix in other ingredients, such as glitter, colored foam beads, or glow powder.
If you use contact lens solution instead of borax, you don't need to add water to dissolve it. Just substitute one cup of contact solution for the borax and water. The first time you make slime, it's a good idea to measure the ingredients so that you know what to expect. Once you have a bit of experience, feel free to vary the amounts of borax, glue, and water. You might even want to conduct an experiment to see which ingredient controls how stiff the slime is and which affects how fluid it is.
After you have dissolved the borax and diluted the glue, you are ready to combine the two solutions. Stir one solution into the other. Your slime will begin to polymerize immediately. The slime will become hard to stir after you mix the borax and glue solutions. Try to mix it up as much as you can, then remove it from the bowl and finish mixing it by hand. It's OK if some colored water remains in the bowl.
The slime will start out as a highly flexible polymer. You can stretch it and watch it flow. Hmm wellElmers glue is definitely the best as I have had trouble with others too.
This glue is called washable school glue so maybe you can find a bottle with that listed on it. I did try a gold slime with a generic bottle of gold sparkle glue and it worked ok. You really had to knead it and work at it though.
It turned out great, but I did find that it breaks apart and can be crumbly if you try to bounce or pull it apart… is that normal? The clear glue can be a little thicker than the white glue for slime. Have you tried the liquid starch recipe? Do you have an ideas why did my slime just last for days. It turns out runny.. What brand glue did you use? It may be due to climate conditions as well. How was it stored?
I have not had my slime separate before! That happened to me too!! Do i really need to use up all of the glue? Or can i just use a smaller bottle of glue? Will the effect be the same? You can use a smaller amount as long as you adjust the amounts of the other ingredients accordingly. For my Easter slime I made smaller portions to give them different colors. Any school supply or big box store will have this glue. I also included links to Amazon to purchase glue there if you use Amazon.
What do you mean by hard? Dbl check the measurements. I have never had too hard a slime. Did it get crumbly. You can also check out our liquid starch slime recipe. I have a question. My daughter was the slime queen, and then one day all of sudden the slime was not turning into slime anymore. After a lot of trial and error we discovered it was the borax.
We bought a new box, and it worked again. Has this happen to anyone else? I have not had that happen before. I have made it through a whole box using it for various experiments and had the same box for quite awhile. Glad that you were able to get back to it with a new box! I have had the opposite experience with a pack of elemers glue I had purchased. Each one refused to cooperate.
I went and bought a new batch and it worked fine again. Though surprising that you were able to use some of the box. Thanks for the great recipe. So fun! When I do that, no water comes out of solution in the final mix. Oh yeah do u have to use 1 cup of hot, warm or cold water for the borax method? You can use warm water. I am sorry you having trouble. Borax slime is not my favorite recipe. Instead, add it a few teaspoons at a time, and stir. The slime should begin to clump up and pull away from the bowl.
Once your slime has clumped into a solid form, take it out of the bowl and begin to knead it with your hands, to make it less sticky. If your slime is too sticky to knead, add in a bit more of the borax solution and knead it in.
Be careful not to get too much on your hands. Once your slime has reached the right consistency, you'll have a fluffy, soft slime that you can twist, stretch, and squeeze as much as you want. Keep it in an airtight container when finished. Method 3. Avoid adding it all at once - your slime will harden that way!
Instead, carefully add 1 teaspoon 4. You should see the glue begin to clump and pull away from the bowl. You're probably not going to use all of your borax solution, so don't be surprised if you have a fair amount left over.
Once your slime has fully clumped together, pull it out of the bowl with your hands and begin to knead it. This will get rid of any residual stickiness. If your slime is still too sticky, add in a little bit more borax solution and then knead it in, being careful not to get it on your hands.
Allow your slime to sit. Chances are, while kneading your clear slime, it became white and hard to see through. Letting it sit in an airtight container for a few days will allow it to become clear again. Once your slime has cleared up, stretch it, poke it, and play with it as you see fit. Store it in an airtight container when finished.
Lois Wade wikiHow Crafts Expert. Remember to pour off the excess water after your borax combines with the glue. If you try to incorporate the water into the slime mixture, it will be too runny. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 9. Not Helpful 1 Helpful Not Helpful 8 Helpful Crafts And Diys And More.

When I try stretching it, it breaks. What do I do? It is likely over-activated. Run it under hot water while stretching it, that should help it become stretchier. Borax powder is a multipurpose item that can be used in all kinds of ways from making slime for the kids to doing your laundry. Grind boric acid crystals into a fine powder to make a product that can serve several practical purposes in your home. To make your own borax powder, start by purchasing boric acid crystals at your local hardware store or an online retailer.
Boric acid is widely available in powdered form, and the liquid form is often used in ant and roach traps, but you can also buy it in crystal form. Using a grinder that you never use for food, pulverize the crystals until a fine powdery substance forms. Borax, also known as sodium borate, is a mineral found naturally in soil and plants across the globe. Borax was first discovered in dry lake beds in Tibet, and since then, people have figured out ways to use the mineral for practical purposes.
Its ability to soften water and suspend soap particles makes it a popular ingredient for products like detergents, shampoos, shower gels and cleaning products. Thanks to its high alkalinity, it is also an effective odor neutralizer.
