Slime activator is a liquid solution that you mix into glue or other slime bases to make it into slime. The activator reacts with the ingredients to make it all come together and form the stretchy and gooey material you know and love as slime. There are several different slime activators that you can use, including:
-
Borax: Borax powder is the most widely known slime activator and contains borax or sodium tetraborate. However, it has the most controversy surrounding it and should be used with caution.
-
Liquid Starch: Liquid starch was one of the first slime activators and is still a popular choice.
-
Saline Solution: Saline solution is commonly used as a contact solution but can also be used as a slime activator.
-
Baking Soda: Baking soda can be used as a slime activator by mixing it with water.
You can either buy an activator for slime or make your own. Making your own slime activator is incredibly easy and only requires a few ingredients.
