Kneading and Storing Your Slime

  1. Watermark wikiHow to Make Jiggly Slime
    Take your ball and knead it—which is when you stretch, pull, bend, and twist it—until it’s the right consistency. You'll notice your slime changes consistency as you knead it—continue until you're happy with the final result. [7]
    • Take your slime out of the bowl and knead it on a flat surface for the best results.
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Make Jiggly Slime
    After kneading your slime, you need to add some hot water to make it jiggly. Pour the water into the bowl with your slime and then poke holes in your slime to help it absorb it. Afterward, lift the slime up over the bowl for about 10 to 15 seconds and let the excess water drain out. [8]
    • Check that your slime is jiggly. If you think it needs more hot water, add another 1 ⁄ 4 cup (59 mL) and mix it in again.
  3. Refrigerate your jiggly slime in a Ziploc bag or throw it away. When you're done playing with your slime, throw it out or refrigerate it for later use. Be sure to store it in a Ziploc bag and close it tightly so as little air as possible enters. [9]
    • Your slime will probably last 1 week or less in the refrigerator.
    • If you notice mold or bacteria growth, throw the slime away.
    • Keep your refrigerator temperature at 35 to 40 °F (2 to 4 °C).

    How can I make my slime last longer?

    Put it in an airtight container. If it starts to get really soupy and sticky, just add activator (borax). If it's getting really tough or it's ripping when you stretch it, add some more PVA glue.

  • Question
    Must I use PVA glue?
    Community Answer
    Yes, the PVA in the glue is the key to your slime. When the glue does not have PVA, the slime will simply turn into watery glue.

  • Question
    I have made many slimes before, but I have noticed that the best way to fix it, if the slime rips, is to add in some Bath and Body Works lotion. Is this correct?

    Community Answer
    If it works, then yes! Slime is a constant experiment and you can always find new ways to fix or make it. I will actually be using the lotion tip now!

      Article Summary X

      If you love playing with slime, you can easily make your own with just school glue, contact solution, soap, and a little water. Pour about 2 bottles of glue into a bowl, then mix in 1/3 of a cup of warm water. Add a quarter of a cup of foamy hand soap or shaving cream and blend it well with the water and glue. Finally, mix in a little contact lens solution, one spoonful at a time, until you get the texture you want. As you mix, your slime should form a big ball. Pull the ball out of the bowl and knead it until it’s nice and stretchy. If you want, you can add a little more water to make it even more jiggly. Keep reading to learn how to add color to your slime!
