Question

How can I make slime with regular bar soap?

Chubzwiki

Community Answer

You may need to melt it down to use in these methods. Method 1 uses soap flakes, which can be obtained by shaving soap off of bar soap.

Question

How can I make it firmer and less sticky?

Community Answer

Add more of whatever activator you used (borax, contact solution, etc.). Add a little bit at a time and this should help bind your slime together.

Question

Can this last for four days?

LunarEclipse

Community Answer

No. Because it is made from such simple ingredients, it won’t last very long. After about a day, the slime will lose its texture, and should be thrown away.

Question

If I use clear soap and baking soda, will it still be clear?

Community Answer

No, because of the color of the baking soda. If you let it sit for a week, it might clear up a little bit.

Question

How can I make slime with just body wash, clear glue with so salt, baking soda and other food mixes?

Community Answer

You have to have an ingredient with borax in it. For example, contact lens solution, borax activator, some kinds of liquid starch, etc. For the basic slime, all you need is PVA glue and one of these activators, although you can enhance your slime with body wash and other ingredients.

Question

Do you have to let it stay for 2 days or is it to just clear the slime?

Dana Alamawi

Leaving it in for two days will allow all the bubbles to disappear. If you do not mind that, then you do not need to leave it for two days.
