Q&A for How to Make Fluffy Slime

Try this recipe for a fluffy slime without borax: Pour ¼ cup cornstarch into a bowl. Add ½ cup of shampoo and mix both ingredients well. Add 1 tablespoon of water and stir through, then repeat. Then add 1 tablespoon of water and stir 5 more times for a total of 6 tablespoons of water. It’s important to add the water slowly for the slime to work. Remove the slime "dough" from the bowl and knead on a clean surface for 5 minutes. As you knead, keep adding as much cornstarch as needed to stop the slime from feeling sticky (it's okay if this needs to be quite a bit more). It’s ready when it has a good stretch, feels moist and doesn’t stick. You might also like to read: How to Make Slime with Borax .

In the beginning, yes, but as you continue to knead the slime, it will become less and less sticky.

It's recommended to store it in an airtight container. Some people store it by wrapping it in plastic wrap, but a container may be a better choice since it's harder to accidentally open and the slime doesn't stick to it as much.

Just gradually add more shaving cream into it and mix in until you get the desired consistency.

You may have added too much of the Borax solution, so I would recommend adding more lotion (a little bit at a time).

You can use flour but double the amount because 1 cup of cornstarch = 2 cups of flour.

Yes, as long as it's liquid. Many slime-crafters say that Tide laundry detergent is the best choice, but others say that any detergent will do, as long as it's liquid.

You can try adding more saline solution or baby oil. If this does not work, you can try adding cornstarch or baby powder to make it thicker. If this still does not work, try adding one teaspoon of borax and a cup of hot water (not boiling), to change the consistency and make it less sticky.

When you add shaving cream, it makes the slime fluffier.

It is easy to make foaming soap in a homemade way. All you need is a regular soap bottle, then fill it half way with water, then shake really well. Then you have foaming hand soap. I tried it and it really makes your slime fluffy.

Yes.

No, that would make your slime watery. As long as it is in a closed container it should be fine.

There are a few options: your best bet would be liquid starch, contact solution, or laundry detergent.

The slime will dry out and become as hard as a rock. In short, it will be ruined.

Mix a cup of water and a teaspoon of borax in a cup and add a little bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Just eyeball it. You will know when it's enough. The lotion makes the slim stretch, so stretch it a little bit and keep adding until you get your desired stretch.

Grab your slime at both ends and stretch it out as far as you can without it ripping. Fold it over, stretch it out again, and repeat the process until you have enough "lines" in the slime for your liking. After that, you can arrange it in any way you'd like.

Yes it does, all of them do. Different types of slime can make different poking noises.

Yes, or it won't turn out as fluffy, and will mostly be watery.

You may need to add more contact or saline salution. You can squirt some onto the sticky parts and work it into the slime.

You can use liquid starch, liquid laundry detergent, contact lens solution or saline solution.

That depends on how much glue you put in it. If you add more ingredients, the more you will have.

You can get some at Walmart or any eye-wear place.

To make it fluffier, add foaming body wash. To make it thicker add three tsp. of cornstarch.

You need hot water, so the Borax can dissolve easily. Using cold water might ruin your slime. The Borax needs to be dissolved; otherwise the slime won't work as expected.

Not necessarily. If you would like a certain scent, you should pick your favorite for the slime.

For the best results, yes, it is important.
