STEP BY STEP
Put it together
Prepare
Cover the work surface. Wash hands and set out a dedicated craft bowl.
Pour and color
Empty the glue into the bowl. Mix in a little optional glitter glue until even.
Activate
Use the dosing directions on your current Magical Liquid bottle for 5 fluid ounces of clear glue. Add and mix as its label directs; do not reuse a dose from a different activator formula.
Knead
Once the mixture pulls together, knead with clean hands as the package directs until evenly stretchy. Do not add a second measured dose.
Good to know
- Adult supervision is required; not for children under three. Slime is not food.
- Use the named glue and activator combination; detergent and contact-lens solutions are not interchangeable substitutes.
- Stop using it if skin becomes irritated.
- Magical Liquid has been reformulated. This guide follows the current bottle directions rather than assuming the older 2.3-fluid-ounce dose.
