Question

Why does it use salt when it is supposed to be sweet?

Community Answer

You can use sugar, but the best results happen when you use salt. Try it both ways to see which you like better.

Question

Can I use watercolor paint to do this?

Community Answer

No because watercolour paint are of a light shade and the paint should be dark and stand out.

Can I use poster paints to make this glitter?

You can use poster paints, but make sure to use a little less than you would with food coloring, since they have a strong pigment.

Question

Would glitter dissolve if I add it to slime?

Community Answer

No. Glitter is not soluble, and even if it was, there is not much water in slime. (However, you could still put it in slime.)

Question

Why did my salt not dry?

Community Answer

You shouldn’t put salt in water; it will dissolve. You could try evaporating it in the sun, it might work but there are no guarantees.
