Uh oh! Your homemade slime is clinging to everything but itself? Sticky slime is a common problem, but don't throw it away! It's usually an easy fix. Here's how to rescue your sticky slime and turn it into the perfect, squishy masterpiece.
**The Borax Solution (A Little Goes a Long Way!)**
If your slime is too sticky, it likely needs more activator. Mix a small amount of borax powder (usually 1/2 teaspoon) with 1 cup of warm water. This is your borax solution. Add the borax solution to your slime, ONE DROP AT A TIME, and knead well after each addition. Overdoing it will make your slime tough and rubbery!
**The Lotion Rescue (For Stretchy Goodness)**
Sometimes, slime is sticky because it's dry. Add a small amount of lotion (start with a pea-sized amount) and knead it in. This can make your slime more pliable and less sticky.
**Cornstarch Power (A Gentle Touch)**
If you don't want to use borax, try adding a pinch of cornstarch. Knead it in thoroughly. Cornstarch helps absorb excess moisture and reduce stickiness.
**Prevention is Key:** Always add your activator slowly and mix thoroughly. You can always add more, but you can't take it away! Happy Sliming!
