Which recipe?
By A&W

Clip to ScrapBook   
Is it the one made from Borax and glue or the one made with liquid starch and glue?

The borax recipe is as follows: make a super saturated solution of water and borax. Heating the water 1st helps. Then in a separate baggy mix Elmers "Glue All" (other glues don't work). Then place a little of the borax/water solution into the glue/water mixture. Mix well and you get a "gloop" like substance.

The other one is using glue all and then mixing in liquid starch. You need to keep mixing the two until it kind of solidifies, take it out and mix it some more until it dries somewhat.

You can add food color to the glue before adding the Borax or liquid starch.

I hope this helps.
