SLIME WITH LIQUID STARCH HOW TO

Continue kneading and adding liquid starch until your slime feels right. If the slime is too sticky, add a little more of liquid starch and knead some more. It should become less sticky at this point and have a nice consistency. Stretch and pull the slime and fold it onto itself. At this point, you need to knead the slime for a while. Stir for a bit until the slime starts to come together. Once the water is completely mixed into the glow in the dark glue, it’s time to add in the liquid starch. It’s fun to mix it up and make different varieties. Experiment with the amount of water you add each time you make a different batch of slime.
