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.
Borax, or sodium tetraborate, is a multi-purpose cleaning agent and the second ingredient you need to make slime. It is a naturally occurring mineral made of sodium, boron, oxygen and water. Add 1 tsp. of Borax to the 8-oz. glass of water and stir it until it is dissolved. This is set aside and not used again until the last step after you add food coloring. Take 1 tbsp. of this solution and add it to the glue cup. Glue is the third ingredient you need when you make slime. You need a standard white glue like the type children use in school. Pour glue into a separate 8-oz. plastic cup until it is 1 inch deep. Add 3 tbsp. water into the glue cup.
