Often, when making a slime, the result is not the one that a person expects. The final product depends on the following factors:
If the slime turns out the way it should, this is evidenced by its consistency. It should be smooth, light and easy to remove from the container. In this regard, you can save the toy by continuing to knead until smooth.
If the toy does not stick off the spoon and stretches like a cobweb, adding starch will correct the situation. You may also need water depending on the situation. Slime, which does not linger in the hands and slips out, contains a large amount of liquid. In this case, a binding powder is taken according to the recipe.

There are only 3 recipes with varnish on the Internet: with sunflower oil, silicate and PVA glue.
This is a recipe based on just two ingredients:
Manufacturing is extremely simple, as they say, "by eye". We take small dishes. It can be anything - porcelain, plastic, metal.
Next, pour a little oil into a bowl, about 3 tablespoons. Then we add varnish. It must be fresh, liquid, otherwise a significant amount will remain in the bottle. We begin to mix the mass. Very quickly, the nail polish thickens, knocks into sticky lumps on a spoon / stick. It remains to see the result:
We prepare dishes, a spoon.
Ingredients:
Pour the bottle of glue into a bowl. The bottle, as a rule, is made of plastic, therefore, when the composition is squeezed into the container, it is filled with air bubbles. Using a spoon, the amount of gaseous substance is reduced.
Next, varnish is added. Its amount can be different: the more ingredient is poured in, the richer the color. The mass is thoroughly mixed until it is evenly colored. Then sodium tetraborate is used as a thickener. To begin with, you can add it in the amount of 1 teaspoon. If during the mixing process the mass has not compacted to the desired state, you can apply some more.
sharp, unpleasant odor.
Ingredients:
To begin with, glue and varnish are mixed until smooth. The sequence in which these components are added is not important. You can add the 1st to the 2nd, or vice versa. Then warm water is poured in in a volume equal to the volume of PVA. Stir vigorously again.
Now comes the crucial moment - adding a thickener. The first serving is 1 teaspoon, the next one if necessary. The result is a hand-gum slime. It can be infused with shaving foam. The disadvantage is the same - an unpleasant smell.
Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) base is the most popular ingredient for homemade slimes. The glue is easy to thicken, and the formed specific elastic mass practically does not differ from the purchased one. The best process activators are sodium tetraborate and borax. They work quickly even in minimal quantities. But starch can also be added as a thickener.
Starch is a unique material for slimes. This food product has a complex structure, and when interacting with warm water forms a specific substance - starch paste. The water absorption capacity of starch makes it useful as a thickener. A number of recipes for slimes from starch with glue have been developed, which are no less popular than with pharmacy activators, since there is a food product in almost every kitchen.
However, it must be admitted that glue is not always the best ingredient for slime. If the jar has been opened for a long time, the glue stops working. And in some cases, PVA even causes skin irritation in slimers. It is necessary to work with the material only in a well-ventilated area, and for children from 5 years old only in the presence of their parents.
Thus, both the glue and the starch in the slime play an important role. The first is as a base, the second is as a thickener. But if the use of polyvinyl acetate is impossible for one reason or another, then options should be considered on how to make a slime from starch without glue. The food is safe for children, easy to process and can be found in almost every home. But in the case of non-adhesive formulations, there are nuances of preparing anti-stress.
A starch slime without glue is created due to the ability of a food product to convert into thick gluten. In this case, it acts as a key ingredient. The reaction will also require water or water-containing components.
The easiest recipe for making a starch slime without glue is to mix the powder with warm water and let it stand for 5-10 minutes. This toy is a bit like squishy filler or soft handgum, but it makes it just as fun to play with.
Additional ingredients can improve the texture of the slime and bring it closer in properties to purchased anti-stress:
The list of auxiliary ingredients is constantly increasing, as slimers regularly come up with new recipes for making slimes from starch without glue at home.
Important! The process of hydrolysis of starch followed by the formation of a paste is possible only with warm water. Therefore, before mixing, it is recommended to slightly warm the ingredients or at least leave them until they reach room temperature.
As you noticed, slime can be made in many different ways. And they all differ from each other and have their own characteristics and properties, be they transparent, luminous, magnetic or even edible handgams.
If desired, glitter or mother-of-pearl can be added to your slime. Or add essential oils to make it aromatic. It is possible to mix the slime with foam balls. In general, there are many ways to make your slime unique.
We also want to remind you that it is advisable to store the slime in a container with a sealed lid. And if it has dried up, then the dried mass can be put into water for a short time, and it will become soft there again.

This slime, when finished, turns out to be soft, spreading, but not sticky. You need to take 100 ml of any brand of stationery glue, as well as 100 ml of cold water. Put the glue in a container, fill it with water. Then, with a spatula or spoon, make a lump of glue, as if knocking it into a single whole. Then take out the clot, continue crushing it with your hands (you can put it in a plastic bag).

In order for the slime to retain its original qualities for a long time, it must be properly looked after and stored according to the instructions. Before playing with it, you need to wash your hands, and after playing, immediately put it back in place.
Storage rules:
It often happens that slime loses mass over time due to reasons such as improper use or storage. There are several ways to fix this:
Add salted water to the slime container and mix the contents gently until smooth
You can inject liquid into the toy with a syringe.
Gently mix shaving gel, starch, wheat flour or baby powder into the slime.
This procedure should be carried out daily, preferably at night. To do this, add a few drops of water or grains of salt to the dishes in which the slime is stored, close the lid tightly and put it in a cold place.
To make the toy last as long as possible, you need to regularly "feed" it with water or salt. This procedure should be carried out daily, preferably at night. To do this, add a few drops of water or grains of salt to the dishes in which the slime is stored, close the lid tightly and put it in a cold place.

This method requires thick PVA glue, since the activator is rather weak and, for example, a product such as Ray is not suitable. The shampoo needs to foam on contact with water, and any paint is suitable. Instead of Persil, you can use Perwoll or Laska liquid washing gels.
This recipe is used to make a transparent slime. It will turn out right away if you knead it carefully at all stages. At the end of cooking, it is better to pour the diluted sodium tetraborate into the palm of your hand and knead the sticky mass. If the toy does turn white, let it rest in a closed container for 1-2 days.
Pour the glue into a bowl.
An activator is immediately poured into it - most of the aqueous solution of sodium tetraborate.
Then the glue must be mixed with slow movements so that bubbles do not form in it.
The thickened mass is carefully crumpled in the hands.
Then glycerin is added to it.
It must be mixed into the slime with careful movements.
Then the remaining sodium tetraborate is added, since the mass becomes sticky due to the last component.
And it is slowly kneaded until tender.
The main component of this recipe is working PVA glue. If you don't have a shower gel, you can use liquid soap or shampoo. Any cream is also suitable, or take body lotion. And you don't need to add light plasticine. Without it, all the other ingredients will make a quality original slime.
