slime care

have a fun & satisfying slime experience!! 

SLIME PLAY

• it's best to play on a table or hard surface especially when just starting out with slime

• clean your playing surface before and after playing

• wash your hands before and after playing

• keep activator handy (recipe below). spray some activator on your hands/fingers before playing

• if your slime starts to feel too loose when playing, add activator a couple sprays at a time

 

STICKY SLIME

• touch your slime with one finger to make sure it's not sticky

• if it's sticky, add activator a couple sprays at a time to create the consistency you want

• depending on the type of slime and how long it's been sitting, you might need to use a couple teaspoons of activator to make it a playable texture

• all handmade slime melts over time. some textures are less melty than others. the least sticky textures are butter & cloud types

• a box of borax costs about $5 at the store and will go a very long way:)

 

ACTIVATOR RECIPE

• 1 tsp borax + 1 cup warm water, mix well

• add to slime a few drops at a time

 

STIFF SLIME

• when you receive your slime package in winter, allow it to come to room temperature for a few hours before playing

• if the slime is cold or overactivated it might be stiff and difficult to play with

• let it sit on a windowsill in the sun for a couple days - this is the most recommended method

• add glycerin 1-2 drops at a time

• add a bit of lotion (not recommended for clear slime, will make it foggy)

 

GENERAL TIPS

• store slime in an air tight jar with a lid so it doesn't dry out

• activate slime every few weeks

• keep your jarred slime in a cool dry place

• slime stiffens in cool weather & melts in warm weather

• slime is NOT edible

  

CLEANING UP

• slime can be removed off clothing & carpet with white vinegar
