If your slime is too sticky, there are a few steps you can take to make it less sticky:
1. **Add More Activator**: If your slime is still sticky, you may need to add more activator. The activator, usually a borax solution or saline solution, helps to bind the ingredients together and reduce stickiness. Start by adding small amounts of activator at a time and kneading the slime thoroughly until it reaches the desired consistency.
2. **Knead with Moisturizer or Lotion**: Adding a small amount of moisturizer or lotion to your hands can help reduce stickiness while kneading the slime. Make sure to knead the slime thoroughly to distribute the moisturizer evenly.
3. **Use Cornstarch or Baby Powder**: Dusting your hands or the surface of the slime with cornstarch or baby powder can help absorb excess moisture and reduce stickiness. Knead the slime with the cornstarch or baby powder until it becomes less sticky.
4. **Store in airtight container with Activator**: Sometimes allowing the slime to sit for a while can help it become less sticky. Place the slime in an airtight container along with a small amount of activator solution. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then knead it again to see if it has improved.
5. **Adjust Ingredients**: If you find that your slime is consistently too sticky, you may need to adjust the ratios of ingredients. Adding more glue or less liquid starch or borax solution can help create a firmer, less sticky slime.
6. **Experiment with Different Recipes**: There are many different recipes for making slime, and some may produce a less sticky result than others. Experiment with different recipes and ingredients until you find one that works best for you.
By following these steps, you should be able to make your slime less sticky and more enjoyable to play with. Remember to always supervise children when making and playing with slime, especially if they are young or prone to putting things in their mouths.
