Frequently Asked Questions 🤔
What is slime activator, and how should it be used?
Using a slime activator is necessary to create and maintain the chemical reaction that results in slime.
- Before playing with your slime, carefully touch it to test if it is sticky.
- If it is sticky, add tiny amounts of activator at a time.
- BE CAREFUL: go slow, slime can get over-activated quickly, particularly clear-based slimes.
How to make your own activator:
- Measure 1 cup of warm water and stir in 1 teaspoon of Borax powder. For less strong activator, add 1/2 tsp of Borax to 1 cup of warm water.
- Stir until all of the powder is fully dissolved. Done!
Is your slime too stiff?
- White Base: Add small amounts of lotion (or glycerin) and mix it with the slime until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Clear Base: Leave untouched in its airtight container by the windowsill or somewhere it can absorb sunlight for a few days. This will help melt and loosen up the over-activated slime.
Is your slime too sticky?
Add small amounts of the activator spray included in your order, and mix it in with the slime until you achieve your desired consistency. Another option is to refrigerate your slime for 15-30 min, especially if it is warm outside.
Is your slime deflated?
All slime can deflate over time. This is very natural and unavoidable since slime is mainly made out of glue and water. This process varies depending on the type. Self-inflating (clay/butter/bread) tends to deflate faster than other types of slime.
Water and activator will fix that right up! Try adding a small amount (drops) of plain water to loosen up and re-inflate the instant snow/clay in your slime. If it feels too sticky after adding water, proceed to add tiny amounts of activator.
How long will my slime last?
Slime should last for a long time, as long as it is taken care of properly. Always keep it in an airtight container, and a cool environment. Make sure to wash your hands before and after playing with slime, so that it does not get dirty and produce bacteria.
However, slime does not last forever since it is a liquid substance! Slime will lose its moisture and may shrink or melt over time. Slime that is properly cared for should last for a few months.
