So, back in May at the Alabama Phoenix Festival I was in charge of doing a "Slime Lab" for the kids and decided that borax slime was the best way to go, so naturally I made plenty of test batches to make sure I didn't look like a total jackass when it came time to wow the childrens. Of course, given that these slime samples could be considered props, I kept them stored away for safe keeping (i.e. In sandwich bags wedged somewhere in my closet). When APF was over with, I figured that I could use the samples made previously and the ones that I had to make during the demonstration could be used as interactive table decor, so the kids could have some slime to play with at our table. What emerged from my closet was even more glorious. From what I gather, the bonds in the slime had broken down, and it has become the slime proper. It oozes and flows, and it even develops wispy strings when you flick it off your fingers (a la Venkman during the "Someone blows their nose..." scene in the library) but is still thick enough to stay put on a surface if need be. I... I love it. I'm proud of it. It's the best slime I've ever had.
(P.S. To any parents who might be reading this, allow me to apologize if the slime your children made at APF became this wonderful sticky mess. Then again, you can't be too surprised. Slime + Childrens = Mess. Every time.)
