Step #1: Measure the ingredients
Measure out equal amounts of water, white glue and liquid starch.
Conclusion
Liquid starch was commonplace when I was a kid but now it is hard to find. There are various sources for it online, but the only major walk-in retailer that I could find who carries it is Walmart. Try your local craft store as well; the craft company Darice makes liquid starch. I tried some of this also and it, too, made good slime.
Credit for this slime recipe goes to Science Bob. His website also documents two other recipes for slime:
- Method 2 uses borax instead of liquid starch. Borax might be somewhat easier to source; look in the laundry-supplies aisle of grocery stores and similar retailers.
- Method 3 makes transparent slime using borax and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA is extremely hard to find, so Science Bob offers kits.
It occurs to me that it might be possible to make slime that glows under UV light by adding Vitamin B2 to the water first (refer to Becky Stern's Kryptonite Candy guide), but I haven't tried this yet.
Have fun with your slime!
