It seems everyone tries but get this wrong? I have found the perfect proportions. So no more glue balls. This isn't slime. This video is my recipe for making a silly putty like substance. I am a chemist and it works perfectly. It is a polyvinyl acetate polymer. Metric measurements 25mL glue, 20mL water, 15mL Borax SolutionNo matter how many times I do this, I never get bored making it. It acts like snot but it isn't sticky. It flows like slime but isn't greasy. The best part is you can make this "Silly Putty Like" substance at home. All you need is the Borax (Sodium Borate) and Glue.

- If you add
polystyrene beads to it, whatever size you prefer, you'll end up with a product called "FLOAM". And that of course can be molded into any number of shapes.

Google for a recipe for homemade floam .
Most kids love it.
But some do-gooders believe borax is toxic.

Borax is not toxic ... infact its used as medicine and many more things.

Looks fun and easy. I'll try it with my neighbor kid who's interested in science.
Kent, do you have any idea how to make exercise putty similar to Theraputty? I live in a third-world country and can't find it here.
Thanks!

you didn't make silly putty, you made that slime stuff. Silly putty isn't shiny.

What kind of glue you use, there is clear liquid glue and then the white one used on tree mostly .... does the cemical blend need some ingreedient to be the right one.

- You can also find 20 Mule Team Borax
at your local home depot. It's cheap there, too, and comes in huge boxes.

we did something very close to this in my HazMat class. It is fun to play with, but ours must of had different proportions because after a while it turned completely solid. About the texture of a bouncy ball.

As the name implies, the original product is a putty-like substance. This creation would better be likened to Gak. We got to make this in our junior high science class long ago, and I always thought it was neat that such simple ingredients could be used to make something people used to make money off of.

- Sorry...
Have you done a video demonstrating a Newtonian liquid? That would be cool to demonstrate in a classroom setting.

but what is Borax? is it an american brand of something? or a compound?
- 0

'20 Mule Team' is just a brand of borax. Borax is a powder detergent.
By weaselhead 1200918368 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove7773823 - 1
in the detergent aisle
By mangoman07 1200630981 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBorax (also known as Sodium Borate) is not a brand of anything, but rather a boron compound. It is available here in America, usually to use for laundry or cleaning.
