Parents across the country are reporting a shortage of glue in stores and many are naming the simple, do-it-yourself slime as the culprit. The main ingredient in slime â an undeniably fun, droopy, pliable substance made in a bowl â is white glue such as the kind made by Elmer's. Recipes found on Pinterest show the recipe for a good slime is glue, water and the multipurpose cleaner Borax. News outlets such as CNBC and Woman's Day are blaming the craze on Pinterest and other social media, which are spreading recipes with different colors and purposes.
Currently, there are five basic types of glue. 1  Solvent glues comprise an adhesive base mixed with a chemical solvent that makes the glue spreadable; the glue dries as the solvent evaporates. 2  Water-based glues use water as a solvent instead of chemicals. Two part glues include epoxy and resorcinol, a crystalline phenol that can be synthesized or made from organic resins. One part contains the actual glue; the other part is a catalyst or hardener. Animal hide glues are useful for woodworking and veneer work.
