Silly Putty(r) was a lab accident that happened when a chemist was attempting to make rubber from silicone oil. Corn starch in water forms a viscous 'non-Newtonian' dough that is similar to Silly Putty(r). The similarity comes from the non-Newtonian behavior of both mixtures. If you roll either of them out into a cylinder and slowly pull them apart, they will stretch. If you rapidly jerk the ends, they will both fracture.
Borax is typically not recommended for making putty, as it can be an irritant to the skin. Liquid starch is a safer option for making homemade putty. Liquid starch is easier to work with and less likely to cause skin irritation when compared to borax.
You can make homemade silly putty by mixing equal parts of white glue and liquid starch together, then adding food coloring if desired. Knead the mixture until it reaches a putty-like consistency. The liquid starch will act as the activator to create the texture of silly putty without the need for borax or laundry detergent.
You can substitute borax in silly putty with liquid starch or contact lens solution mixed with baking soda. These alternatives provide similar binding properties to create a stretchy and moldable consistency.
You can make silly putty without glue or borax by mixing equal parts cornstarch and dish soap together. This will create a stretchy and moldable substance similar to silly putty. You can also try using liquid starch and baking soda for a similar effect.
No, mixing baking soda and flour will not create a putty-like consistency. To make homemade putty, you can try combining white glue and liquid starch or borax solution until you achieve the desired texture.
You could as it is none toxic, but it wont taste very nice! It could also give you a stomach ache if you eat too much.
No, silly putty can be made using a variety of different ingredients, including polydimethylsiloxane which is the main component in commercial silly putty. Borax and starch are common additives that can be used to create similar stretchy and bouncy characteristics in DIY silly putty recipes.
You can make squishy putty by using borax, glue, and water! Mix a little of each together, add food colouring, and there you have it! Store in airtight container in fridge. Be careful, this putty stains!
U cant!
No.
To calculate the density of borax putty, you would need two pieces of information: the mass of the borax putty and the volume of the borax putty. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. dens = mass/volume.
Easy...... you don't :) K bye
