    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    No, you don’t have to use contact lens solution as your activator. You can look up slime activators on the internet for other ways to activate your jiggly slime, including laundry detergent and borax. However, you do need some form of activator or else it won’t turn into slime.
  • Question
    Will the slime dissolve after not playing with it for a while?
    Community Answer
    It depends what kind of slime you are making. If it is a borax and glue slime, it can take months for it to deactivate. Then, if your slime does deactivate, you just need to add more borax activator.

    How do I clean up the slime?
    Community Answer
    Usually you can just pick it up, but if it is stuck to fabric or carpet you can use vinegar or rubbing alcohol to remove it.
  • Question
    Does using glasses cleaner have the same effect as using contact solution?
    Community Answer
    I don't think so. Saline solution has ingredients that cause a chemical reaction. An alternative activator is borax and water.
