Be sure to wash your hands before handling the slime, as residue may transfer onto it from unclean hands.
Move quickly when handling the slime to avoid it sticking—check out this video for tips!
Prepare the activator in advance before starting to play with your slime.
Always store your slime in a tightly sealed jar when not in use to keep it from drying out.
1) Combine 1 teaspoon of borax with precisely 1 cup of warm water.
2) Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the borax is dissolved.
3) Add small amounts of the solution (about 1 to 1/2 teaspoons) at a time or gently dip the slime into the activator.
4) Knead and fold the solution into the slime until it’s fully incorporated.
Remember to store your activator in a labeled container for future use!
Simple answer: Activator is a solution that helps reduce the stickiness of slime.
Complex answer: Activator is a borax-and-water solution that reactivates sticky slime. Slime is made from a mix of glue and borax; without borax, the glue wouldn’t transform into slime. Over time, all slime eventually gets sticky or starts to resemble glue again. Activator restores its texture and makes it enjoyable to play with once more!
1) Apply activator if your slime feels too sticky. The amount you use is up to you!
2) Your slime might still feel a bit sticky until the activator is fully kneaded in.
3) Adding too much activator = rubbery slime, while adding too little = sticky slime.
4) Certain slimes require less activator due to a higher ratio of add-ins compared to actual slime, like snow fizz, crunch bombs, bingsu, and floams.
Slime doesn’t last forever, but with proper care, it can stay fun for a long time!
1) Daily Play: Play with your slime for 10–15 minutes each day to extend its lifespan.
2) Clean Hands & Surface: Wash your hands and use a clean surface to prevent debris or bacteria from getting into the slime and to reduce the chance of mold.
3) Seal Tight: Keep your slime tightly sealed in its container when not in use to prevent drying.
4) Store Properly: Place it in a cool, dry spot, away from direct sunlight.
5) Frequent Activation: Regularly reactivate your slime, as it’s tough to bring back if it completely melts.
There’s no wrong way to enjoy slime, but a few techniques can help keep it from sticking to your hands.
1) Start with clean, dry hands. This is essential because dirty or sweaty hands can make slime sticky and leave residue. Plus, keeping food or debris out of your slime helps prevent mold from forming—no one wants that!
2) Handle slime with quick motions! Think of it like tossing a hot potato or kneading pizza dough. Whenever you pull or stretch the slime, make swift, sharp movements. Slow “pull-back” motions will likely make it cling to you, and grabbing it with your whole hand might also make it stick. To avoid this, try rapid squeezing motions, almost like you’re quickly pressing a stress ball.
3) If you have warm or sweaty hands, it’s best to avoid advanced or intermediate slimes. The heat will soften the slime, and any sweat can create a sticky layer on your hands. Beginner textures are a great choice in this case, as they’re less likely to melt or leave residue while you play.
