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
