Flubber

Ingredients

• Borate solution
• 2/3 cup warm water
• 1 1/2 t powdered Borax
• 3 drops food coloring

Mix together in a 1 cup using wooden spoon.

• Glue solution
• 3/4 warm water
• 1 cup school glue

Mix together in a mixing bowl using a wooden spoon.

Directions

Pour the borate solution into the bowl with glue solution. Use your hands to gently lift and turn the mixture until only one tablespoon of liquid is left. Flubber will be sticky for a moment or two. After the excess liquid has dripped off, Flubber is ready. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. When you are through, discard in a waste can. DO NOT try to wash it down the sink. If it dries on carpet or clothing, cover it with a cloth soaked in vinegar to de-gel it, then wash the area with detergent and water.
