Add 2 teaspoons of the Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution into the PVA solution and stir slowly.

STEP 1: Mix 1/2 cup of glue and 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. STEP 3: In a separate small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of warm water with 1/4 tsp of borax powder. This makes your liquid borax activator. STEP 4: Pour the slime activator into the bowl with the glue and water mixture.

If you’re worried about the safety of slime that contains borax, you can use Arm & Hammer baking soda in your slime recipes instead. Baking soda slime is a good alternative to slime containing borax.

Make a borax solution of 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon borax, mixed until clear. Add this solution a teaspoon at a time until the mixture forms a clump in the bowl. This is what it looks like when it first pulls together. Use your hands to knead your fluffy slime!

“Borax can cause burns, especially when you touch it multiple times,” she says. “When you’re mixing it up, Borax can get in the air and irritate your airways. If kids put their hands in their mouths by mistake, it could be toxic.” “I love that kids are having fun with slime, and it is generally safe.”

Here Are Some Places You Can Usually Find Borax

1. The laundry aisle at grocery stores and big-box stores, such as Wal-Mart.
2. Hardware stores.
3. International grocery stores.
4. Farm supply stores.
5. Health food stores.
6. Swimming pool supply stores.

2. 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda.
3. 1/4 Cup Water.
4. 2-3 Cups Shaving Cream.
5. 1.5 tablespoons Contact Lens Solution **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list.
6. Liquid Food Coloring.

Instructions

1. Place glue in a plastic bowl. If you’re adding food coloring, you can add it now until desired color is reached.
2. Stir in 1 cup of shaving cream. The more you add, the thicker it’ll be.
3. Stir until you can no longer stir and then kneed with your hands.

Make Slime without Glue — Method 1. Take a bowl pour few tablespoons of liquid dish soap. Put half teaspoon of salt in dish soap. Mix these two ingredients really well until you get a thick consistency. separate the liquid from the bowl.

When liquid borax or glue flows through a polymer chain, it causes the polymer to change reactions. Adding borax and borate ion to the glue mixture, the water molecules that go through the polymer chain, these long chains of polymers (glue) links together, forming a goopy slime.

The best glue is a PVA (polyvinyl- acetate) washable school glue. You have several slime activators to choose from (all in the boron family). These include saline solution, liquid starch, and borax powder, and all contain similar chemicals for making a slime substance.

If you’re looking for a natural ant repellent, soda is a great substitute for borax. Mix it with sugar to attract the ants, and the baking soda will do the difficult job of eliminating the infestation. Baking soda can also be used as a cleaning agent.
