The Elmer's Glow in the Dark Slime Kit provides a straightforward and enjoyable experience for creating custom slime. The Elmer's Magical Liquid activator simplifies the process significantly, consistently turning the included glow-in-the-dark glues (yellow and purple) into pliable slime.
Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your work surface with newspaper or a plastic mat to protect it from potential spills. Have all ingredients ready.
Pour the Glue: Empty one bottle of Elmer's Glow in the Dark Glue (yellow or purple) into a mixing bowl.
Add Magical Liquid: Start by pouring a small amount of Elmer's Magical Liquid (approximately 1/4 to 1/2 of one bottle) into the bowl with the glue.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture with a spoon, craft stick, or your hands. You'll notice the glue beginning to thicken and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Continue mixing until a cohesive slime forms.
Knead the Slime: Once the slime is mostly formed but still a bit sticky, remove it from the bowl and begin to knead it with your hands. This is crucial for achieving the desired consistency.
Adjust Consistency: If the slime is too sticky, add a tiny bit more Magical Liquid (a few drops at a time) and continue kneading. If it's too stiff, knead it more, or consider adding a very small amount of plain Elmer's liquid glue (not included) to soften it (results may vary).
Charge for Glow: To make your slime glow, expose it to a bright light source. Sunlight, a strong lamp, or even a flashlight held close for several minutes will 'charge' the luminous pigments. The longer and brighter the exposure, the more intensely and longer it will glow.
Enjoy the Glow: Take your charged slime into a dark room or area to see its vibrant, luminous glow. The neon effect is captivating and adds an extra layer of fun to playtime.
Getting started with the Elmer's Glow in the Dark Slime Kit is designed to be quick and easy:
Unpack: Remove all components from the packaging.
Gather Supplies: You will need a clean mixing bowl and a spoon or craft stick. A protective surface cover (like newspaper) is highly recommended.
Read Instructions: Always review the instructions provided on the packaging of the Elmer's Magical Liquid for precise ratios and tips.
Elmer's Glue: The Elmer's Magical Liquid activator is specifically formulated to work optimally with Elmer's school glues and Elmer's craft glues. Using other brands of glue may yield inconsistent or unsatisfactory results.
Add-ins: You can safely incorporate additional small, non-toxic craft items like glitter or beads (not included) into your slime for extra customization, but ensure they are child-safe.
Slime Storage: To prevent your slime from drying out and to maintain its pliability, always store it in an airtight container (e.g., a plastic container with a lid or a resealable plastic bag) at room temperature when not in use.
Cleaning Spills: If slime gets on surfaces, try to wipe it up immediately with a damp cloth. For dried slime on clothing, allow it to fully dry, then try to scrape off as much as possible before washing the garment. Info needed: [Refer to specific Elmer's cleaning guidelines if available, otherwise general advice applies.]
Product Storage: Store the unused glue and Magical Liquid in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their efficacy.
