UK slime recipe
We were so excited to find this new slime recipe – it works brilliantly and the addition of shaving foam gives it a lovely fragrance too!
We saw the original recipe on Instructables – but we’ve tweaked the recipe a bit for the U.K. Market.
The secret ingredients…
Ingredients:
For ease I have included affiliate links to amazon.
PVA Glue – I always buy 5 litres at a time as we use PVA a lot – you could just buy a smaller bottle – PVA Glue on amazon
Bicarbonate of soda
Contact lens solution – the ingredients must include boric acid for it to work.
Shaving foam – we like lemon and lime as it smells great!

Method:
First mix 1 cup of PVA glue, 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda and 1/2 a cup of shaving foam.
If you want you can also add colour at this point – just a few drops.
Mix until it is a cake batter consistency.
Next add a good squirt of contact lens solution – mix well. Add another squirt and mix. You should notice the mixture starts to thicken and will start to create a ball.
Keep adding a squirt of contact lens solution until you have the desired consistency.
When you think you are there tip the slime out and knead well. If it is still a bit sticky add another squirt of contact lens solution and knead.
At this point you can add some more shaving foam if you want to make it a bit fluffier!
We really hope you enjoy this recipe, we have!! It is quite a stiff mixture but it does still ooze!

Now add some big squirts of contact lens solution – mixing well between each squirt until you get desired mixture (I estimate this is about 1/4 cup)
