Q&A for How to Make Less Sticky Slime

Try kneading the slime some more. Sometimes kneading the slime longer is enough to make it less sticky!

Detergent works well, preferably Tide or Gain. You could also use liquid starch.

There's a lot of other things you can use. For example, clay + lotion makes perfect butter slime. Or you can use a face mask and activator.

Use another kind of laundry detergent or activator. Borax powder mixed with 2 tbsp of hot water works the best.

You can't. To reduce the amount of kneading, you can stir it more when it is in the bow. However, like most dough, you have to knead it.

You would use dissolved Borax powder instead of contact solution and baking soda.

Some slimes do and some slimes don't. They may use baking soda or contact solution, as well as other ingredients.

Just add more activator until it is the consistency that you want. That should help, but if it doesn't, use less glue next time.

Add contact solution to your slime. This will help, and shouldn't ruin the slime.

Try baking soda. If it does not work, try Borax, salt, corn starch or glue.

You can just add more activator. It won't do anything but make it less sticky.

Add more glue to the slime. Pour out leftover water.

Yes, there are many different slime activators. You can use detergent (preferably Tide or Gain), liquid starch or borax.

Using water will make it more sticky, try using just baking soda. If it does not work, just keep adding more a little at a time.

Adding more activator mix will automatically make the slime less sticky, just make sure you don't add too much.

You can use Tide or Gain liquid laundry detergent instead.

A substitute for contact solution is mixing borax with water then using it as activator. A substitute for glue is more tricky but you can use peel-off face masks.

No, you must dilute it with water. I learned this the hard way. It will make your slime chunky.

Add lotion and hand soap, or a small amount of warm water.

Hand soap works too! It makes it sticky if you add too much, though. Or you can put in the microwave for a few seconds (no more!).

No, baking soda is necessary as an activator for the slime.

Usually contact solution can be found at the pharmacy or a pharmacy section in a supermarket, box store, etc. Try a discount chain or look online for specials.

For help with the stickiness, mix in a bit of unscented lotion, that normally works for fixing up butter slimes. For the dye, play with it. After enough play, it will eventually have less dye and stop staining stuff and being annoying.
