![]() Gah! I wish I knew what it was that was going funky for some of you! If you still have some supplies, would you be willing to shake your Almat well and then try again? I can't get the supplies because Aldi's doesn't ship to the US, but if I were there, I think I would try shaking the Almat well, then putting several ounces of glue in a bowl and adding the Almat just a small dollop at a time and stirring well for an extended period of time (maybe 1-2 minutes each time) watching carefully for any clumping (that would be the slime forming). The delivery is £3.95 but I think you can order more products. You may want to share with the UK followers that Fred Aldous Arts & Craft shop are online and Elmers white school glue is just over £2 (they don't have clear). ![]() Will it work with dry laundry starch if I add water? I have ordered Elmers white school glue to try that. ![]() Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is it the type of glue. I could feel the mixture thicken as I was stirring then it would soften again if I added any more laundry gel, as though it had too much in it. The Craft Planet glitter glue worked better than the others but it still didnt look like the slime in your pictures. I couldnt get hold of the clear Pritt glue so I used normal kids white PVA first then tried Craft Planet glitter glue, Sainsburys glitter glue then Glitz pearlescent glue. I am in the UK so used Almat laundry gel. I so wanna make slime for Halloween so I had a practice yesterday doing tiny batches with different glues but none of them seemed to work. HELP! lol I hope you can or one of your lovely followers from the UK. If you'd like me to look into it, please email me a list of the brand names of liquid laundry detergents commonly found in your stores at Finding out what brands are readily available in some international locations is almost impossible for me, so sending me a list of names helps tremendously! :) I am happy to research whether your country has a laundry detergent that will work. Thank you to Zoe for trying out Ariel Liquid Detergent for us! It works!!!! :) Oh and in case you wondered, yes, we actually are weird enough to have a slime photoshoot in our driveway. ![]() The slime will keep in an airtight container (tupperware or ziploc bag) for several weeks. If you don't have liquid watercolors, food coloring works as a substitute. To make the slime you see pictured, we threw in a TON of extra ingredients - turquoise, silver, and green liquid watercolors and about seven different colors and shapes of glitter (about 3/4 of a cup of glitter in all, as we are very serious about our glitter). I now have photo confirmation from a reader that Multicolored Liquid Dixan works to make slime! Hooray! Follow the same directions as listed above to make your slime.Īccording to my online research, Liquid Universal Dixan, Blue Dixan Power Gel, and Multicolored Liquid Dixan all contain the correct ingredient. So she recommends just using Formil Biological (photo courtesy of Sharon Pereira). She reports that both work, but the Formil Non-Bio is a bit stickier. In light of the possible change in Almat ingredients, Sharon Pereira tried both Formil Bio and Non-Bio. UPDATE: I am getting lots of feedback that Almat is no longer working so I have removed that info from this post - I believe that the ingredients have changed - you may want to try this new recipe we created using Kershaw's Laundry Starch) Here are links to the correct laundry detergent for various countries: We have edible slime recipes here if your child is still likely to taste. Though the ingredients are non-toxic, I only recommend this slime recipe for kids who aren't going to try tasting it. If your slime is at all sticky, add a teeny bit more laundry detergent and knead it in. Once your slime is no longer sticking to the sides of the container and is holding together in a big clump, you're done! To see photos of what the process looks like, you can check out our How to Fix Slime That Didn't Work Out post - the process looks the same when you use the laundry detergent. Depending on the concentration (2x, 4x, and 8x concentration), you'll need to add anywhere from a few tablespoons to 1/4 cup or possibly slightly more. Add two bottles of glue (about 10 oz total, but this is very flexible) to a container and slowly add Liquid Tide Free and Gentle about a Tablespoon at a time, stirring each time. I recommend selecting a non-toxic school glue for children. There are several PVA-based glues that are commercial grade and are not meant to be handled. If you live outside the US, please read the safety warnings on the glue you choose. In the US and Canada this is a washable school glue like Elmer's. To make your slime, you will need a PVA-based glue.
