Q&A for How to Make Fluffy Slime Without Borax

If it is liquidy, then you can add in 1/4 cup of flour to make it less liquidy.

It is supposed to be liquid so that it is soft and fluffy. If you're adding food coloring, make sure you add the color before you add the laundry detergent.

Yes. After a few days it depends on how you store it. A sealed plastic bag is recommended.

It stops the glue from just sticking to your hand and allows it to form a slime when combined with the shaving cream.

Fluffy and stretchy, so it's also soft. If it is sticky, add flour. It helps make it so it won't be as sticky.

Yes, as long as you stir the shaving gel so it resembles foam first.

You add about a cup full of detergent and if you need more, just add a little bit more detergent.

Just keep mixing! Eventually everything will come together, but it might take some elbow grease.

Detergent is an activator that binds the slime together. Without an activator, you will get more of a liquid than a slime.

Paint is okay, but you only need a tiny bit to add color.

Yes. Acrylic paint would work best if you are not using food coloring. Add a tiny bit at a time so you don't use too much.

Yes, but it works better if you do it before you put in the laundry detergent.

You can try adding more shaving cream to your mixture (or foaming hand soap).

Wash your hands as soon as you notice the laundry detergent so it doesn't leave a mark.

Mason jars would definitely work for storage, especially since they have sealed caps to keep the slime from drying out.

If you don't have an activator it probably won't turn into slime and you'll be left with a bowl of glue and shaving cream, so if you don't have an activator you should probably buy one if you want to make slime.

You may have added too much water. You should try to add other ingredients proportionally so that you can thicken your slime.

No, because the laundry detergent binds it together instead of just making it soapy.

Then you want to mix it some more or work it with your hands and that might work, but if it does not then you may want to try a new method.

Yes, but you must make sure that the foam is light and airy before you mix it in otherwise your slime won't be as fluffy.

Just warm, so make sure it isn't cold or boiling hot.

You can use any type of lotion, just put in a good amount of it. And "oz" stands for ounces.

You can use liquid starch instead of detergent as it contains the same content that makes slime come together.

It will become to runny and you might need to add more flour or start over.

Then you have to proportionally reduce all of your other ingredients to get good results.

That means you might have added too much water. Start over, but use less water in your second batch.

Add about a cupful of laundry detergent. If you need more, just add a little bit.

Yes, but you will just need to cut it open and let the detergent out of the pod.

Yes, but you may have to mix the shaving gel together first so it becomes as fluffy as normal shaving cream.

No. It wouldn't be the same at all. Glue is thicker and more sticky with no pigment, while paint is thinner and pigmented.
