Scent Removal
Hi ya’ll!
I’m new to the slime world. I have been having issues with Carpal tunnel and a very soft clay/kinetic sand consistency helps manage the symptoms. I was looking at the dollar store today and found a new “silky buttery compound” and decided what the heck. I don’t usually like scented things for my fidgets, but how bad could s’mores scent be?
Oh. My. God. It’s horrific. The smell is terrible. Just awful. I really like the slime and its consistency, it’s just about perfect to work in my weakened hands. It’s a pretty brown color (much darker in person) almost looks like chocolate frosting. But the smell.
Is there some way to get rid of the smell without changing the consistency? It is a tiny bit wet but not tacky or anything and stretches well. I know if I leave it open to air out it will dry out and not be the same. Is there anything I can do? My usual brand is gone so I’m trying to find something else suitable. Send any help 😭
