Fool Proof Slime Mixture (we experimented and tried them all)
- Begin with 1 cup of cold water in a bowl you may add other ingredients such as food colouring at this stage
- Add 200ml of PVA glue (you may have t experiment with the PVA glue that works best for you)
- In a different bowl pour in 1 to 2 teaspoons of boric acid or sodium borate or bicarbonate soda (which ever you have access to)
- Stir until you cannot see the boric acid or sodium boric or bicarbonate soda mixture
- From your first bowl, pour in the cold water and food colouring mixture into the second bowl SLOWLY
- Knead it to get the right consistency and STICKINESS!
- VOILA
Tip
If you are using Borax please use gloves and wash your hands afterwards. Borax is corrosive. You may substitute for laundry starch or washing up liquid — Almat washing/bio gel in Aldi is fantastic in this mixture and CHEAP!
