How To Make Silly Putty Without Borax?

Answer 1

You need:

glue

laundry detergent (liquid)

bowl (or something to mix in)

spoon (or something to mix with)

food coloring (optional)

Here's what you do:

Put some glue into your bowl (the amount doesn't matter; you can put in however much you want) and add the food coloring in.

Stir.

Pour some detergent into the cap and SLOWLY add it while stirring the mixture.

Put in more or less detergent to get it to the consistency that you want it.

ENJOY!

Tips:

Put in more detergent if your mixture is too runny. Put in more glue if your mixture is too hard to stir.

IMPORTANT:

Store in a ziploc baggie to keep plyable and soft. You don't want it drying out!:)

Answer 2

We've made a form of silly putty many times at our house with two items. Glue and liquid starch. (and we often add food coloring). it takes some experimenting on the right amount, and lots of water to clean up the residue. We put a few teaspoons of each on a one to one ratio in a plastic bag, knead it over and over and rinse it off in water. Sometimes you'll have to add more glue, sometimes more starch. I know there's other ways involving borax, but we've only tried this. the kids love to make this goop; just dont let it get in the carpet! keep trying until you get it to the right consistency.

Answer 3

You can make Silly Putty without Borax by using a substitution. Instead of using Borax in the quantity that the recipe calls for, use Epsom salts instead.
