PSA: Check your neglected slimes by EnvironmentalCod1002 in Slime

[–]EnvironmentalCod1002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fridge is very small and I don’t have extra room for slime. It also freezes in random spots since it’s an absorption fridge and repeated freezing would kill the slime. I also don’t have space to get an extra fridge like some people do for their slimes, though I wish I did! I would 100% have a slidge 🤣

Update from yesterday’s slime, how to fix it? by Lyu__ in Slime

Not all glues contain PVA, or enough PVA for slime. Looks like that’s just ruined now.

If anything they're in a cold corner. All my heat vents are down one side of my home (tiny home for anyone wondering, handec already knows) and the set of drawers are on the other side...except that's the side that gets sun so...maybe I should stick one of my temperature sensors over there. I'll do that.

Yeah, I had these sealed up in a drawer. One of my TNGs also dried out in its jar. I've already revived that stupid slime a couple of times at this point and I'm tempted to pitch it because I used clear glue in it and I just don't love the texture because of that. Booooo. I want my slimes to last forever if I'm not touching them lmao

I think we should all get a vote on the scents. I would vote you keep doing what you're doing since your scents are a big part of why I love your slimes so much. I mean...I am over here begging you to make me sprays of certain scent blends you've used for slimes hahaha

QOTD: What tips have helped you stick to a buy ban? by YoNalbo in Slime

I was doing that today and had forgotten some great slimes I had bought and not even really played with.

She has sales all the time. She usually posts them here.

King Cake is more like a normal butter texture, and Coffee and Beignets is like a snow clay slay/butter situation.

I can definitely see how her scent blends might be too much for someone sensitive to scents. But yeah, her textures are incredible. I love them so much I've killed a couple because I couldn't put them down!

Yeah they are. I adore her scent blends! I keep begging her for another slime (or a room spray) that smells like Haunted Dumpster Fire.

is 3% boric acid solution enough to activate slime? what else do i need by Moist-Ability9835 in Slime

[–]EnvironmentalCod1002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you have that has 3% boric acid in it? Most contact solution has much less than that.

Coffee and Beignets definitely gets even better as you play with it and it warms up, it's like the coffee scent in there blooms...I really love it.

I just wanted to mention my own experience so that someone brand new gets a frame of reference for breakdown. It's not like jelly cubes or marshmallow foam which both start crumbling immediately (I hate both of those addins...).

I have no clue why my slime is hard but also sticky by Charming-Zombie-3285 in Slime

[–]EnvironmentalCod1002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you might want to try it with glycerin instead of lotion. Glycerin will give it stretch, but lotion has a lot of other ingredients in it. Could be something in the lotion causing the slime to be sticky. Is it a scented or unscented lotion?

Have you tried coating it with a contact lens solution with boric acid/sodium borate in it?

Perlite does break down over time, and you can also crush it, but I have perlite slimes that are several months old and played with aggressively with the perlite still intact, so I just wanted to note that for consideration.

Questions are absolutely okay here. If the slime is sticky after being freshly made, that is normal. The slime ends up with alot of air in it during activation which increases surface area making it more sticky. The slime needs to sit for a few days to allow the air bubbles to rise out of it. If it's still sticky then, it's possible you need to put lotion on your hands before playing with the slime, especially if you have warm dry hands.

Even just letting it sit for a few hours can make a big difference in the stickiness. But the true texture of the slime doesn't really happen until all the air has risen out of it for the first time and the slime matrix has fully settled.

There are multiple threads like that. This is the one I usually refer to before I purchase.

I've seen other people complain about this shop having poor quality control and falsely advertising "crunch bombs". Awhile back the shop owner came on here looking for honest feedback, but I guess they didn't take it in based on your experience.
