Okay. So I got a gallon of Elmer's Clear glue for CHristmas. But when I used my borax mixture, (one tsp of borax dissolved into one cup warm water) it made it into a really hard putty type. I tried again, this time using less. Same reaction. I don't know what's going on, I've done the same thing before and it turned out fine! So then I thought that maybe it was the glue itself, so I took the clear glue from a slime making kit I got from Christmas as well. Same reaction. When the slime forms it is really bubbly, and uses a TON of activator. So then I thought it might be my borax. So I made a brand new mix. Same thing. I ended up just using Detergent, but I'm really dissapointed because I would really like clear slime. I know I could use saline, but that's quite expensive and I already bought a huge thing of borax. Anyone know what's going on??
