How to make fluffy slime?

[Halftermdog]

DD is desperate to make fluffy slime which seems to be made if shaving cream, pva and borax? I don't have borax and am not sure you can buy it in the U.K., any suggestions of what to try??

Ebay?
Or I've just found a 3-ingredient recipe on google that uses contact lens solution containing boric acid as an alternative (US recipe, but just checked and my cheapy vision express solution contains boric acid).

Pva glue and Aldi almat washing gel is the uk version for slime !

Sorry posted before I finished there's lots of uk versions on Pinterest 😊

Hi, my dd has been trying to make this for ages and finally cracked it yesterday and is now making it for all her friends! She used shaving foam, pva glue and contact lense solution. I think the contact solution has to contain borac acid for it to work though.

My DD is also slime obsessed, she went through pots and pots of various stages and much disappointment (we don't have an Aldi near us). She finally cracked it with some cheap eye whitener drops from Savers, glue and shaving foam. Hope you find a 'recipe' that suits

Yes contact lens solution.

I am so going big to try this!

You can buy borax powder in Boots and online, BTW. Possibly cheaper than contact lens solution.

Why did autocorrect see fit to add 'big'?

My DD has made some using shaving foam, pva glue and Persia wash liquid. Added some poster paint for colour.

Whatever you do, don't touch borax. My school sent an email round detailing that it can cause fertility problems for your children later on. I didn't check the truth of it as my DC are too old for slime but you might want to check it out yourself

Ok great, we did put in a bit of contact lens solution (they had watched a youtube vid which said to use it but it had no measurements of anything so I guess I didn't use enough?) I need it for my eyes?

Don't think I'd want them using washing powder/liquid but contact lens solution, pva and shaving cream I have. How much of each or doesn't it matter much??

THanks!

Here's how I make mine:

Ingredients

PVA Glue (testing may need to be done first as different glues vary! make sure it is PVA though)

Shaving Foam (optional, but makes slime fluffy)

Paint (optional again)

Formil Biological detergent from Lidl (the green one! this is a substitute for borax which reacts with the glue)

OR use Almat Non Bio from Aldi instead of Formil

OR use Contact lens solution with half a teas spoon of baking soda

Method:
Mix PVA, foam and paint in a bowl.
Then, slowly add your activator (Formil, Almat or solution). Do this little by little until the glue clumps up. You should notice slime starting to form!

Once you have the basic method you can go ahead and practise this a few more times until you've found the perfect slime. Hope this helps everyone!
