QuestionI just bought slime from the store and when I opened it, it was sticky and kind of melted. I am 12 and so cannot buy slime activator. What can I do?LunarEclipseCommunity AnswerTry laundry detergent! Most detergents will have borax, and I'm assuming you have laundry detergent at your house. If you're okay with it turning a bit blue/whatever color your detergent is, then it'll work!

QuestionMy slime is very soupy and won’t come together I tried all the tips that I could with the materials at home. It is fluffy slime and I made a big batch.Pugs&pigsCommunity AnswerPerhaps you have the wrong glue? Or the wrong activator? Check if you're using a lens solution that has enough sodium borate. Check if it's a borax solution that the borax dissolved. Check if the glue is PVA glue. Perhaps you have too much shaving cream. Simply try again.
