In classic slime formulations, sodium borate (Borax) or sodium tetraborate is used. When dissolved in water, sodium borate dissociates into sodium ions and borate ions. If a polymer is present like PVA, the borate ions interact with the polymer chains and form weak ionic bonds that make the solution thicker.
What You Do: 1  In one bowl mix 1/2 cup (4 oz) glue and 1/2 cup water. 2  In the other bowl, mix 1 teaspoon borax with 1 cup water until the borax is dissolved. 3  Add the glue mixture to the borax solution, stirring slowly. 4  The slime will begin to form immediately; stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. Allow the solution to cool. 2  Make a 4% borax solution by stirring a little less than 2 teaspoons (approx. 4g) of Borax into 1/2 cup of water. 3  Pour the cooled PVA solution into a ziplock bag and add 2 teaspoons (10ml) of the borax solution. 4  Zip the bag and knead it until the chemicals are mixed into slime.
