Q&A for How to Make Slime Stretchy Again

Yes, on any slime. Note that the lotion might make your clear slime a little opaque.

These methods should work on all types of slime; however, if you use the lotion method on clear slime, the slime will become more opaque.

You can microwave the slime for 10 seconds, or place it in warm water for 30 seconds to a minute, depending on your slime's texture.

Sure! Putting lotion on fluffy slime is a great way to make it stretchier. Just be careful that you don't let it become too sticky.

Add more glue and some lotion, shaving cream, or hand soap.

Yes. You can also use lotion but hand soap is basically the same. Make sure that you add small amounts of the hand soap slowly into the slime so that you get the consistency right.

Adding a bit of hand sanitizer and clay together works, but if you want a better texture you should try adding corn starch (if you don't mind having to throw the slime away eventually for hygiene reasons).

Yes; however, I would recommend trying adding lotion first, because it works better. If that for some reason does not work, you can try running it under hot water.

Eather add lotion or activator. Some activators that help are eye lens solution or borax. This makes it really consistent, one of my favourite recipes is model magic clay and lotion, just keep adding the lotion and the more sticky it'll get, but caution if you add to much lotions, it will be extremely sticky.

Add lotion. Aveeno lotion and unscented lotions are preferred, but whatever you have will most likely work. If that still doesn't work, add a little extra glue and work it in.

Aveeno is one of my favorite slime lotions; it always helps when my slimes are super stiff.

These tricks work on most types of slime, but it honestly depends on the ingredients that are in it and how old/worn out it is.

You can add glitter once its activated, it'll just be a little bit messy at first but then you can clean it up with the slime.

You can put it in a microwave-safe bowl, and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Add some lotion for extra softening power.

Yes, try to soak it but make sure the water is hot. If that doesn't work either try using shaving cream and if that doesn't work that means your slime has dried up and you will need another one.

Too much lotion can negatively affect your slime. Rip off the ends of your slime and knead it. This should work to restore it.

You may have overactivated it, or added too much water. Try adding less water next time, and adding lotion, hot water, or leaving it in a warm area for a few days to get it to become stretchy.

You can warm the slime up with your hands, add a few drops of warm water at a time, leave it by a warm area, or simply let it sit. Slime naturally melts down over time.

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to give up on a slime. Sometimes, they don't turn out the way you want them, or maybe all the things you tried exhausted the slime. Try to make a new slime. The possibilities are endless.

It will at first, but if you keep playing with it, the lotion will massage into the slime and it'll become softer and stretchier. Just make sure you don't add too much lotion at one time.

If this is happening, then your slime has over dried and there really isn't anything you can do about it other than making or purchasing a new batch.

If you add a small amount, yes. However, because it is an activator, if you add a lot it will toughen up instead.

Adding a lot of shaving cream won't ruin the slime. You can add insane amounts of shaving cream without it having negative effects in the slime.

A third method that is worth trying is adding a tiny amount of glycerine. The glycerine will temporarily make the slime very sticky but if you kneed it a lot, it won't be sticky anymore but it will be stretchier.

To make no-glue slime, you can replace the glue with a peel-off face mask. This should work the same as glue.

You probably used other ingredients to make your slime, so you will need other ingredients to make your slime stretchy again. I usually use lotion, though.

You will know your slime is done when it's fluffy and the tiniest bit sticky. If you don't want it sticky, you can add lotion.

Different types of slime work differently, but most slimes do not work well with toothpaste. Try using lotion instead, and it should help to make your slime stretchy again.
