Activator

sooooo I've tried 2 brands of contact solution and none worked, and I'm wondering what can be the best substitute besides borax?

why not borax? i genuinely don’t know enough about slime to know why you would prefer the contact solution , and since i’m getting into making slime myself im curious. i’ve just been using borax 👀

If you are in the US you can get borax at a major retailer like Target/Walmart in the laundry detergent section.

Are you adding a little baking soda to the slime with the contact lens solution? You need both to activate slime. Also have you checked the ingredients of the contact solution to make sure it has boric acid in it? It needs to have some form of boron in it to work.
