You will be heating this bowl in the microwave, so make sure that it is microwave-safe.
Don’t worry about dissolving the glue in the water here.
If the glue didn’t completely dissolve, give it a stir first. Sometimes, this is all you need to help the glue finish melting. If that doesn’t help the glue dissolve further, microwave it at 10 to 15-second intervals until it does. Be sure to stir after each interval!
The more food coloring you add, the darker the color will be. Start with 1 to 3 drops, then add more, if needed. If you want white-colored slime, skip the food coloring.
If the bowl is made from glass, make sure that it is freezer-safe. Let the bowl cool down to room-temperature before you freeze it.
This slime will be the most gooey out of the other recipes here. It is oozy, and not very stretchy.
The size of the pieces does not matter. This is just to help the glue melt faster. You’ll be heating this in the microwave, so make sure that the bowl isn’t made from metal!
Give the glue a brief stir to ensure that everything gets submerged.
Start with 1 to 3 drops of food coloring. The more you add, the darker the color will be!
There is no precise measurement for this, but it would be best to start with just 1 tablespoon (15 mL). You can always add more later. Do not use powdered laundry detergent. It is not the same thing. You can try using liquid starch, but your slime may not have the same results.
If the slime is too runny, add a little bit more laundry detergent. Take it easy here, since a little bit goes a long way.
This slime will be a little more firm than the kind made from just water and glue sticks.
You won’t be using the microwave in this recipe, so you can use any type of bowl you want.
Give the mixture a quick stir so that everything is underwater.
There may still be some oatmeal-sized chunks of glue, which is fine. You’ll knead these out later.
If you can’t find contact lens solution, try “saline solution” instead.
Again, there may be a few chunks of glue left in the putty. Don’t worry; you’ll knead these out in the next step.
You may not be able to get all of the chunks out; just try to squish them out as best as you can. When finished, this slime will be more like silly putty than traditional gak slime.
