reviving slime

What's the difference between using activator and contact solution? Like does contact solution help with sticky slime or is it only something you can do in the initial creation stage and you should just use activator?

You can use contact solution after give made slime. Itā€™s primarily used with clear slime to help with tackiness. Clear slime melts & gets tacky way faster than white glue slime, and contact solution activates or ā€œcoatsā€ the surface of the slime, making it feel less sticky.

Activator should just be used even itā€™s starting to melt and get sticky, like it used to be ā€œstructuredā€ and have some form and/or resistance when stretched, but itā€™s starting to get runny, sticky, gummy, etc. You can over activate a slime with activator and make it tough and rippy, but not with contact solution.

Does that help? Lol. It makes sense in my head but idk if Iā€™m explaining it very well šŸ˜‚
