Ingredients
To make glue slime, you will need the following ingredients: - 1 bottle of clear or white school glue (6 oz) - 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda - 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution - Food coloring (optional)
Note:

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue and stir until well combined. 3. If you want to add food coloring to your slime, now is the time to do it. Add a few drops of food coloring to the glue mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed. 4. Add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution to the glue mixture and stir until the slime starts to come together. You may need to use your hands to knead the slime at this point. 5. Keep adding contact lens solution, a teaspoon at a time, until the slime is no longer sticky and can be easily stretched and pulled. 6. Once your slime has reached the desired consistency, store it in an airtight container or plastic bag.
Tips and Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks for making the best glue slime: - If your slime is too sticky, add a little more contact lens solution until it becomes less sticky. - If your slime is too hard or rubbery, try adding a little more glue to the mixture. - If you want to make glitter slime, add some glitter to the glue mixture before adding the contact lens solution. - If you want your slime to be scented, add a few drops of essential oil to the glue mixture before adding the contact lens solution. - Always wash your hands before and after making slime to avoid getting any bacteria or germs in the mixture.
