Q&A for How to Make Slime with Cornstarch and Body Wash

Yes. Shampoo will work just fine.

Yes, you can. Cornstarch and cornflour are the same thing.

I've had mine for six years.

You may have added to much cornstarch. Try adding more body wash or a little bit of water.

I used the shower gel from Bath and Body Works, but any type of wash or gel should do the trick

Just add one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

No. Follow the instructions listed in the article above.

Any kind will do!

Add more water, lotion, or body wash. Don't add too much at a time, and make sure to knead thoroughly.

Yes, but for every spoonful use half a spoonful of water (ie. for all the flour you add, add half of that in water).

Yes, most soaps work. You can try shampoo, dish soap, body wash or conditioner. The soap's role is just to make the corn starch come together and become a slime, because it a sort of liquid.

It depends on the strength, but about 2-3 drops should do. Of course, you can add more if you like.

Yes, you can find some good videos on YouTube. I recommend Jsh DIY slime and Hong Giang DIY slime.

For this slime it will turn out like play dough instead of normal slime for this recipe (it's like butter slime).

No, you could use a Popsicle stick, your hands, or anything you can stir with.

You can't for this particular recipe.

You may need to try a different type of body wash or add a lot more cornstarch.

Any body wash is fine, I have used Walmart brand and Bath and Body Works and they had the same feel.

No, because the slime will fall apart and be really sloppy.

No. You can try just for experimental purposes, but the cornstarch has a certain consistency that creates a reaction with the activator that flour can't quite match.

Use about half a cup for a lot slime or a quarter of a cup for less.

It's fun and you will be proud of yourself for MAKING the craft.

It shouldn't, as you'll only need a few drops to color your slime.

Yes, 3-in-1 body wash should work just fine as a substitute for normal body wash.

You can use cornstarch or cornflour, they are basically the same thing. You could use regular plain flour, but because cornflour/starch bonds better with liquids, it is better to use that.

If your slime is too sticky, add more activator. Activator will always make your slime less sticky.

Yes, you definitely can. The consistency may be slightly different, but you can definitely use hand soap for this recipe.

No, it doesn't. You can use translucent or opaque shower gel.

If your slime is not stretchy, you can add lotion to it which will increase how stretchy it is.

Not all slime has the same consistency, try a different recipe if you're not satisfied.
