  • Tips for playing with slime:

Always wash your hands before and after playing with slime. Moisturizing your hands before playing with slime will reduce how much your slime sticks to your hands. Store slime in a cool place, slime does not like to be hot. Use activator if your slime becomes sticky. 

 

 

  • What is included in each order? 

Every order comes with an activator pen. Orders of 5+ slimes also come with a bag of powdered borax so that you can make additional activator.  Larger orders will receive an extra 2 oz. slime, extra candy and mochi squishy. 

  • Is slime perishable?

Slime is not perishable but it will deactivate over time and become more sticky. This can be easily fixed by using activator and working it through the slime. You should plan on using your slime no later that one month after purchase. If it is over a month before you play with your slime make sure to dip one finger in the slime first to test the 'stickiness'. Have activator handy. Always store slime in a cool place. Slime will lose moisture over time. This will make your slime appear to be shrunken.

Our business has expanded dramatically over the last few months and we are working hard to train new employees to keep up with demand.

We can promise that our slime will continue to be made using the highest quality glues, lotions, food grade dyes, skin safe fragrance oils and clays. Each slime is a thoughtful work of art and we want you to enjoy them as much as we do!

  • How long does slime last?

If you are ordering for a special occasion such as a birthday or holiday, please order no more than one month beforehand. Slime naturally deactivates and will need some activator to stay fresh. All of our orders come with activator. If you keep your slime in a cool place, activate when needed and play with it on clean surfaces with clean hands and always store in an air tight container your slime should last for many months.

  • Why is my slime sticky?

Slime can become sticky with heat, or simply over time. This is a problem that can be easily fixed.  Every order comes with an activator pen. If you would like a larger size there are 2 oz. bottles available for purchase. To add the activator, add activator a tsp. at a time until fully incorporated into the slime and slime is the desired consistency.  It is important to add the activator slowly, so you don’t over activate the slime.
