- Remove the slime from the bowl. Then as the glue starts to pull away from the bowl or stick to the spoon, remove from the bowl and mix with your hands.
If the slime is too sticky, add more liquid starch until it’s the consistency that you prefer. Only add a little at a time so that you do not add more than is needed.

How to store:
Place the slime inside an airtight container. You can use a mason jar or container with a good lid.
Another option is a ziplock bag for storage. Feel free to use either option that you have on hand. Both will work great.
How long will slime last?
If stored inside an airtight container, it will last several days. You can extend the life of the slime by refrigerating it.
Slime that has been refrigerated often can last up to a month. If you spot mold develop though, immediately throw the slime away.
