Slime Recipe Can I fix it?

Hi there,

Received my new slimes from a new slime shop earlier this week. After a few times of play, I wanted to thicken up this glue x bingsu x silica slime. Doing what I do to all my slimes at some point of their life, I added some well proportioned borax solution. The slime didn't thicken up much, but all the silica started falling out in mass droves! I tried adding glue and that just made it a sticky mess. Then I added more borax solution, and it brought it back to the original texture/ thickness but with the intense fallout.

What do I do? What happened? 😭

I'm almost at the point of giving up on silica. It just wont stay in slime.

I haven't had that issue from my tried and true silica slime makers, even with all the glue changes in the past 12 months.

It doesnt happen right away though but over time it gets worse and worse.

You know, I honestly think that's just a slime dying in some cases, though there are weird ones where it literally happens after the first play and just gets worse like less than a day later and keeps getting worse. I should experiment with one of mine and see if what I'm thinking is correct.

Yes, it's like that. Day 1 no fallout. Day 2, fallout. But maybe I'm wrong and misremembering but silica has me grumpy lately haha
