Fluffy Slime Troubleshooting Tips:
You’ll need to use contact solution as the activator to create the right texture for your slime. Otherwise, the glue and shaving cream will just be a big blob of goo.
If your slime isn’t fluffy enough, try to fold in some extra shaving cream.
If the slime isn’t stretchy after a few days of playing with it, you can add a bit of hot tap water or a small amount of lotion to it.
Or if the slime is too sticky, add a drop or two more contact solution or a small bit of baby oil and knead.
These troubleshooting tips should help you to get the right consistency with your slime.
