If your slime feels hard or rubbery, don’t worry! This is a common issue! Here’s how to fix it:

• Add lotion: A few pumps of hand lotion can soften hardened slime instantly. Knead it in gradually.
• Use warm water: Soak your slime in warm water for a few minutes, then knead until it softens.
• Mix in Glycerin: Adding a few drops of glycerin can make your slime more elastic and soft.

Overactivated slime becomes stiff and breaks apart easily. Here's how to reverse it:

• Add glue: Mix in a small amount of PVA glue to balance out the excess activator.
• Lotion therapy: Massage some lotion into the slime to make it softer and stretchier.
• Let it rest: Leave the slime in an airtight container for 1-2 days—it often softens over time.

Sticky slime can be frustrating, but it’s easy to fix! Follow these steps:

• Add activator: Use a slime activator like borax solution, liquid starch, or saline solution (just a few drops at a time).
• Mix in cornstarch: If you don’t have activator, cornstarch is a great alternative for reducing stickiness.
• Chill it: Place the slime in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to reduce stickiness naturally.

If your slime has dried out, revive it using these methods:

• Add water: Gradually add warm water while kneading the slime to restore its moisture.
• Use glycerin: Glycerin can rehydrate slime quickly, making it soft and pliable.
• Mix in shaving cream: For fluffy slimes, shaving cream works wonders in restoring its light, airy texture.

Watery or runny slime is usually underactivated. Here’s how to thicken it:

• Add more activator: Slowly add your chosen activator until the slime reaches your desired consistency.
• Mix in glue: If it’s still too watery, adding more glue will help balance the texture.
• Use baking soda: A pinch of baking soda can thicken runny slime effectively.

Slime activators are essential for turning glue into slime. Here are some common activators you can use:

• Borax solution: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax powder in 1 cup of warm water.
• Liquid starch: A ready-to-use slime activator found in most laundry aisles.
• Saline solution: Make sure it contains boric acid and sodium borate for the best results.
• Contact lens solution: An easy slime activator you might already have at home.

If your slime has lost its elasticity, these tips will help:

• Add aloe vera gel: Aloe vera gel is a gentle softening agent for slime.
• Massage with hand cream: Hand cream is an easy way to restore flexibility and stretch.
• Add glycerin: A few drops of glycerin can make your slime stretchy and smooth again.

If you accidentally overactivate your slime, follow these tips to deactivate it:

• Dilute with water: Adding water can balance out the activator and soften the slime.
• Mix with glue: Adding more glue reduces the effects of too much activator.
• Store in a warm place: Heat can reduce the effects of activators, making the slime softer.

Proper storage is key to maintaining your slime:

• Use airtight containers: Always store slime in an airtight container to prevent drying.
• Keep it cool: Store slime in a cool, dry place to avoid melting or sticking.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight can cause slime to lose its texture and color.

Here are some household items that work as slime activators:

• Borax powder
• Saline solution
• Contact lens solution
• Liquid starch
• Baking soda and water

To remove slime from hair:

• Apply conditioner or vegetable oil to the slime and gently comb it out. To remove slime from furniture:
• Use white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to dissolve the slime and wipe it clean.

If you don’t have activator, try these alternatives:

• Add cornstarch or baby powder.
• Knead the slime with cold hands to reduce stickiness.

Slime typically lasts 1-2 weeks with proper care. Store it in an airtight container and avoid exposing it to heat or sunlight.

If your slime isn’t activating:

• Ensure you’re using the right type of glue (PVA glue works best).
• Check your activator’s concentration—dilute or strengthen it if needed.

Ripping slime is often overactivated or too dry. Add lotion or glycerin to make it stretchier.

Sticky slime means it’s underactivated. Gradually add more activator until it’s no longer sticky.
