Q&A for How to Make Water Slime

Yes, you can use the borax method. Simply put some borax in hot water, wait for it to dissolve, and you're ready to use it to activate!

The shampoo you might be using might be to watery. Try using a shampoo with thicker consistency. The thicker, the better!

Yes, you need to activate the slime with salt as your activator.

Use less. Your borax may be stronger than the one used in the article. Slime usually involves trial and error.

Your shampoo may not contain boric properties. Try using a different shampoo instead.

Let your slime sit by the window in a clear container with a lid overnight. Usually the slime clears up!

Tide usually does work however I would not recommend it because it can really irritate your hands. The best option would be liquid starch which is made a type of plant.

You can, but your slime will not be clear if you use white glue.

Pantene or Suave Kids work well.

Yes, it has a great consistency to be used for this slime recipe.

Yes, every kind of slime needs an activator, including water slime.

Try adding more glue or use a different activator.

You have to put salt into the shampoo before you put it into the fridge and water isn't necessary. But make sure you use Suave Kids shampoo or else it wouldn't work.

You can use water-soluble paint (acrylic or watercolours), or ink in water color pens. Do not use solvent based paints. Make sure it says non-toxic, e.g. do not use house paints.

It doesn't matter. Any shampoo will work.

You can, but the suggestion is clear shampoo so you can color your slime with a custom color. It does not affect the overall slime though, as long as the shampoo is a gel-like consistency.

No you cannot it will turn into a liquid. The reason why it's possible for it to work with glue is because when using saline solution for slime the saline must include boric acid which is borax, the chemicals react to create slime but these are not safe chemicals to play with. Shampoo has chemicals in it yet they are much safer as they are used on your hair, with no reaction it won't work.

Yes, you can use the Cornstarch Method.

You can make a perfectly good slime with contact solution and a pinch of baking soda. This is okay for your hands and will not harm you. Depends on how much you plan on making, your slime needs time to clear up.

Yes, there are many different types of activators you can use instead of borax or boric acid. For example, baking soda, contact solution, liquid starch, and Tide.

No. I suggest using ONLY borax, as the saline solution makes the slime get hard over time, but the borax doesn't.

If you can't find somewhere to BUY activator, you can MAKE it instead. To make activator, mix a little bit of borax with a little bit of water.

Yes you can, but you should add contact solution with the baking soda. If you add to much of either one, it will ruin your slime's consistency.

No there is no way to make water slime with white glue. Since the water slime is clear it would not have the same effect, also clear glue has a different consistency then white glue so it might not come out as well.
