I remember making this as a kid. But instead of using Elmer's white glue I used a gel glue also made by Elmer's. Using that it gave me an end results similar in texture to silly putty.

Having Borax (Boric Acid) come in direct contact with skin is not a good thing. A local new anchor recommended people use it as treament for fleas by sprinkling on your carpets. When 20 Mule Team the makers of Borax found out, they asked him to retract his recommendations. Because can be toxic, and it was never manufactured with the intent of direct contact with the skin.

is this a very sticky slime if it heats up-like silly putty? does it harden ever?

Borax is a volatile substance as I recall, can I still find it in a local supermarket or would I have to find a specialty store... of volatile chemicals. Also is it safe to reuse anything the borax touched?

It's not "volatile." In fact, it's a mineral mined from the ground...

I just mean it's not something you should eat or get in your eyes, the same goes for any other cleaning detergent I believe.

Thanks symsyd, and kewl instructable btw. But I was wondering too, in your video you mixed borax with water, then used that water in each of the plastic cups, and added more borax, is there a reason for doing it like this?
