One suggestion I found online to thicken my runny slime was to add dish soap and salt. The results of that batch of slime were dubious at best and disastrous at worst. When I initially ventured out to source the ingredients for the perfect slime I made the mistake of buying the first contact lens solution I found without checking if it contained the key ingredients. It’s super important to make sure that the solution you’re using contains the ingredients boric acid and sodium borate. Polyvinyl alcohol can be found in simple PVA glue and borate ion is created when bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is mixed with contact lens solution. Both of which you can find in everyday household items. Slime is made after a chemical reaction between two main ingredients polyvinyl alcohol and borate ion. Being curious I embarked on a mission to create the perfect slime, which now sits by my desk as a big squishy stress ball, and discover how it is made. But it seems like slime is here to stay for the foreseeable future, you just can’t go wrong with a tub of ooze. I never really understood it, but then again when I was at school the big thing was braiding Scoobies (these were literally just plastic threads that you braided together to make different shapes). Slime is obviously a big craze right now. We advise keeping the slime on a surface like a chopping board. Please be careful when using this on surfaces, for example varnished or painted wood.
