Slime Tips 101

✨ Part 1: Tips for Making Different Types of Slime

We’ll give tailored tips by slime type.Here are a few common ones — tell me which you offer or want to include, so we can expand:

1️⃣ Basic Slime (Glue + Activator)

• Use white school glue for an opaque slime, or clear glue if you want to see add-ins like glitter or confetti.

• Always add activator (like borax water or saline solution + baking soda) slowly, mixing between additions to avoid over-activating.

• If slime is too sticky, add a tiny bit more activator. If it’s rubbery, knead in some lotion.

  
  

2️⃣ Butter Slime

• Use soft, air-dry clay (like Daiso clay) for a smooth, spreadable texture.

• Add clay little by little so you don’t over-thicken.

• Tip: Butter slime tends to dry out faster. Keep it in an airtight container, and if it starts to stiffen, knead in a few drops of water at a time — it’ll come back to life.

  
  

3️⃣ Fluffy Slime

• Mix in shaving cream after glue and before activating for best poof.

• More shaving cream = fluffier, but it won’t last as long.

• Add a little baby oil to help it stretch without sticking.

  
  

4️⃣ Clear Slime

• Use clear glue only and avoid over-mixing to keep it crystal clear.

• Let it sit for a few days to “clear up” after making — bubbles will rise and disappear.

• Wash hands before playing to keep it from clouding.

  
  

5️⃣ Crunchy / Fishbowl Slime

• Mix add-ins like foam beads or fishbowl beads after slime is fully made.

• If beads fall out, your slime might be too stiff — add a drop of lotion.

Perfect if someone’s slime got hard, sticky, or just “meh.”

🧴 Hard or Stiff Slime

• Butter slime: Add a few drops of water and knead.

• Other slimes: Try a drop of lotion, glycerin, or baby oil.

• Go slow — you can always add more!

  
  

💦 Sticky Slime

• Dip your hands in activator first.

• Add tiny drops of activator, kneading between each.

• For clear slime, use activator sparingly to keep it glossy.

  
  

🌬 Dry on top but okay inside?

• Add a few drops of water on top, seal the container, and let it sit overnight.

• Next day, knead it back together.

  
  

🌸 Lost its scent?

• Add a drop or two of safe fragrance oil and knead well.
