How to Make Jiggly Slime Into Regular Slime?

Jiggly slime usually contains more water than required but not that much to turn it into a watery slime. Slime activators can come in handy when you wish to turn jiggly slime into regular slime but this process might increase the quantity of the slime. Below are two easy and helpful methods that you can use to turn your jelly-like slime into regular slime.

1. Use Shaving Foam and Borax Activator

Mix a pinch of borax in a cup of hot water to obtain the borax activator. Add a few drops of this activator and a tablespoon of shaving foam into a bowl. Put your jiggly slime into it and start kneading the slime. If you feel the need to add more activators, you can safely add another few drops of the borax solution. Keep on kneading the slime until you get the desired consistency. Be mindful to not add the borax activator in excess as it can turn the slime hard and rubbery. Thereby, add only a few drops first and keep on kneading.

Be careful while using the borax solution and keep the solution away from the reach of your children as borax can have adverse effects if ingested. Additionally, wear good quality face masks and gloves while dealing with borax as inhalation of borax is not safe. If you use borax for the purpose of making your slime, always supervise your kids while they are playing with the slime and make them wash their hands thoroughly after they are done playing.

2. Baking Soda

Baking soda can help to turn your jiggly slime into a normal stretchy slime. Start by kneading the slime on a platform. Now add half a teaspoon of baking soda to it and knead for some time. If the slime’s texture doesn’t change as desired, keep adding small quantities of baking soda and kneading it until you reach the desired texture. Do not add too much baking soda at once to prevent it from turning into a rubbery slime.
