Moment Stolyar glue for slimes is needed to increase the plasticity and viscosity of the base. Its use is not prohibited for making slimes, despite negative opinions about the safety and increased toxicity of the material. There are many ways to make an anti-stress toy at home.
Which Stolyar glue is suitable for slimes?
PVA glue for slimes Stolyar is of high quality and is not inferior in characteristics to other types, including Elmers. The only disadvantages include the need to observe safety measures when making an anti-stress figure at home.
Each glue package is labeled by type, making it easier for users and buyers to navigate. Handicraft enthusiasts characterize each subtype in their own way:
- universal - has increased density and a snow-white hue, toys made from it are less viscous, but crunch better when used;
- express - thick in consistency, with a slight yellowish tone, antistress turns out soft, but worse in quality than products from other options;
- Super PVA - thick and white, the slime made from it is soft, but does not stretch well.
The first one from the list is considered optimal. The toy will not have a pronounced yellowness, and the product itself will start to crunch amusingly when pressed.
What does white glue joiner PVA look like
Snow-white slimes from wood glue will only be obtained from a certain type. When buying tubes, it is impossible to mix them up, each PVA has its own memorable cover:
- the universal one has a white surface;
- express - yellow, with a wood pattern applied to the surface;
- super - red shell.
The first carpentry PVA is characterized by a water-dispersion base. It does not leave stains when used, quickly sets, shows high adhesiveness (quick adhesion of surfaces). The dense structure and snow-white shade make it indispensable in the manufacture of figures.
Important! Stolyar white PVA glue is irreplaceable for creating slimes due to its viscosity and strength. If done correctly, you can create a toy with medium viscosity and a pleasant crunch for the ear.
How dangerous is glue for work?
The widespread opinion includes information about its high toxicity. Some users are sure that it cannot be used for slimes. The negative attitude is due to the fact that the glue is intended for construction work, despite its water-dispersion base. An additional aggravating fact is that children will also play with the slime.
There was no official information from the manufacturer about complaints of poisoning after the creation of anti-stress figures. For this reason, not everyone is afraid to use the substance as the main ingredient for slimes, do not consider it toxic and successfully use it in the cooking process.
Precautionary measures
Experts recommend observing safety precautions when working with adhesives:
- use rubber gloves;
- don't forget about the protective mask;
- ventilate the room while working - you can't sit in a small room with closed windows.
Important! If the product gets on unprotected skin during the process, wash it with plenty of running water. If a burn occurs, you should immediately contact a dermatologist.
Many experts believe that sodium tetraborate is very harmful to use, although it is considered safer than PVA glue. Slimes made from borax and glue base should not be licked, chewed or swallowed - there is a risk of intoxication.
As a safety measure, it is not recommended to give slimes to children under three years of age. And older children should be explained the dangers of improper use of slime. Any such toy should not be placed against the face or mucous membranes; it is necessary to prevent it from getting into the respiratory tract.
Wood Glue Slime Recipes
How to make slime from Stolyar glue? In addition to the main component, you need to take one of the secondary ingredients:
- water - to reduce thickness;
- baby oil - will add softness and make the figurine shine;
- shower gel, shampoo or toothpaste - will add a pleasant aroma and increase softness;
- hand cream - will increase elasticity and soften;
- film mask - replaces water in recipes.
Before carrying out the work, the adhesive substance is diluted with tap water in a ratio of 1 to 6. After mixing and obtaining a mass of uniform consistency, the remaining ingredients are added.
The classic recipe for making slime includes the following algorithm:
- Stock up on borax, hand cream, toothpaste, shaving foam and PVA in advance.
- The adhesive base is diluted with water - the ratio of proportions can be changed to obtain a slime of a certain hardness.
- The remaining components are introduced - except for borax. The volume of foam and glue should be similar, the remaining ingredients are taken in arbitrary quantities.
- After thoroughly mixing the mass and obtaining a homogeneous composition, pour in the liquid activator. The solution is introduced gradually, with constant stirring of the composition.
Important! The finished product is left for several hours.
Cooking process
How can you make slime from Moment Stolyar glue? There are several recipes:
- After mixing the adhesive and water in certain volumes, add baby oil and shaving foam. The first component will increase the elasticity of the figure, the second will add fluffiness. The foam is equal in quantity to the volume of glue. After thorough mixing, add borax to the composition. The result of the procedure will be fluffy slime.
- To make an elastic figure, a film mask is introduced instead of water. After mixing the components, baby oil is added. As a result, the mass will become soft. A borax solution is used to thicken it. The substance is introduced in any volume, focusing on the desired consistency of the product. This recipe is intended to obtain a glossy slime.
- Mix the film mask and adhesive base, add shaving foam to them. After obtaining a homogeneous mass, add baby oil and shower gel to the composition.
Professionals remind that to increase the plasticity of the mass, it is necessary to knead the finished material in your hands. The procedure is carried out after introducing all the necessary ingredients. This approach increases the viscosity of the slime. And to improve the level of softness, the composition should contain baby oil or cream.
Important! Some components can be replaced with analogues if desired. Instead of borax (sodium tetraborate), you can use Teimurov spray, contact lens liquid, soda solution, liquid starch or transparent washing gel.
Some experienced needlewomen prefer to replace with Drops - Visin or Naphthyzin. To improve the structure of the material, the composition is supplemented with kinetic sand, glitter or beads.
Rules for storing slimes
The prepared toy is stored in hermetically sealed containers in the refrigerator. If it gets dirty, it should be washed with cold water and dried, then left in the jar for a couple of hours.
If you pour a few spoons of water into the storage container instead of a liter or a bucket and leave the slime in the refrigerator overnight, its volume will increase slightly. Do not forget that excess moisture leads to mold on the product. The spoiled toy will have to be thrown away.
The toy should not be kept near central heating radiators, in direct sunlight or without hermetically sealed packaging. It will dry out quickly and lose its appearance.
It is difficult to say how long the anti-stress slimes will work: the average shelf life of a ready-made store-bought product varies from 2 weeks to 2 months. For self-made slimes, it is significantly shorter. The promise of longer shelf life from the manufacturer is a fairy tale from days gone by.
Important! Slime cannot be stored on the balcony or in the freezer during the winter. Once covered with ice, it will not be possible to restore it, and you will have to get rid of the anti-stress toy.
Making homemade slimes is a fun activity. If the toy is intended for children, it is better to use safe materials that cannot cause poisoning.
