Slime can become sticky for a couple of reasons. One common cause is leaving it alone for too long, as it can deactivate and become super sticky. Another reason could be if the slime gets too hot, which can also affect its consistency.

To fix sticky slime, try mixing 1 teaspoon of borax into 1 cup of warm water. Stir it well until the borax is fully dissolved, then slowly add the solution to the slime a little at a time, kneading it until it reaches the desired consistency. This should help restore your slime to its smooth, non-sticky state!

If your slime feels tough, it may be because there’s too much activator (like borax solution) or not enough glue in the mix. This can make the slime hard to stretch or play with.

To fix tough slime, try adding a small amount of lotion or a few drops of water and knead it in thoroughly. If the slime is still too tough, you can also try adding a little more glue to soften it up. Make sure to knead everything together well until you get the right consistency!

To prevent your slime from drying out, store it in an airtight container when not in use. A plastic bag or a container with a tight lid works best. If your slime starts to dry out, you can add a little water or lotion to soften it up.
