  • Continuing adding bits of water until the mixture comes together and you can knead it in your hands.
    Make sure you knead the mixture well in-between adding water, as it can get too wet and sticky quite quickly.

  • The slime is ready when it's smooth and stretches, instead of breaks. At the end you'll need to add water just a few drops at a time.
