Slime care guide

Keep your slime
soft & stretchy.

A little care goes a long way. Follow these steps and your Abi's Slime Lab jars will stay fresh, fluffy and satisfying for months.

How to store your slime

If your slime gets sticky

Sticky slime just means it needs re-activating, which is totally normal. Follow these four steps and it'll bounce right back.

  1. 01

    Add a few drops of activator

    Sprinkle 1–2 drops of our slime activator (or contact lens solution + baking soda) onto the slime.

  2. 02

    Knead it in slowly

    Work the activator through with your fingertips for about a minute. Don't rush, over-activating makes it rubbery.

  3. 03

    Rest, then re-check

    Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stretch it. Still sticky? Repeat with one more drop at a time.

  4. 04

    Store it right

    Once it's stretchy and not tacky, seal it airtight so it stays fresh for your next play session.

Common questions

My slime melted and is too runny

It's over-activated or too warm. Knead in a pinch of borax powder or a few drops of activator, then chill the jar in a cool room for 10 minutes.

There's a hard crust on top

Air got in. Peel off the dry layer, then knead the rest with one drop of activator to bring the texture back. Always press the lid fully closed.

It lost its scent

Scent fades with play. Add one drop of skin-safe fragrance oil and knead it through. We sell refresher oils in the lab.
