Why does slime sometimes fail? The two biggest reasons I have encountered from my readers on slime fails are these…
Double check that you are using the correct ingredients. I get tons of comments saying that so and so made slime with this type of starch or that type of saline, but it wasn’t the correct kind. Liquid starch is not spray starch nor is it cornstarch thinned with water. Saline solution  should have key active ingredients that I mention in the recipe.
Read the whole recipe! Many readers aren’t taking the time to measure properly or follow the steps. Slime making is like baking. Sometimes you have to perfect a recipe and altitude and humidity can always play a small role in the process. On very rare occasions I have gotten a bad batch of glue, and this is a possibility too.

My granddaughter loves to make slime. I am wondering though how the jingle bells add to it. I’m sure they no longer jingle, but do they make the slime more difficult to pull and stretch? She loves to hear the different sounds that different recipes make….how does this compare to others? Thanks for the info! You have great ideas.
