I don’t believe it would lose it’s efficiency. You just have to make sure they have enough of the activator to make it come together
-Stacey
B Huffman says
If I was going to send home ingredients to make this slime as a take-home kit, would the activator be okay to send home in individual cups? It won’t lose it efficacy once opened?

Hi Kerrie – it’s 1/4 cup of the magic solution for 4oz of white glue and 6oz of clear glue. My best suggestion though is to read the directions directly on the Elmer’s Magical Liquid bottle because they have TWO versions of it now for sale and the newer type actually requires less liquid to make the slime work.
– Stacey
Kerrie says
I have brought 1qt of almers clear glue how much of the Elmer’s magical liquid do I put in with a whole bottle of the clear glue
Stacey Gibbon says
Hi Stephanny – you might have to unfortunately add more glue and/or play with it until it gets less sticky. It might need some “activating” my hand. I wish I was more helpful than that! It’s just a matter of experimenting with it until it gets less sticky. You might also be able to throw in some corn starch to stiffen it up. Maybe just alittle on your fingertips – Stacey
Stephanny says
Hi! I recently bought the 6oz clear glue and the activator, on the back of the activator it says to use 1/4 cup of the activator with the entire glue bottle. I did so but it’s still too sticky, not sure if I’m missing something. Appreciate any help as I’m new on this slime world.
Michele says
Stacy,
Thank you for the information. I have already bought the glue and activator, so I’m all set. I just wanted to make sure my granddaughter was telling me right.
Thanks again,
Michele
Stacey Gibbon says
Oh no – I think equal parts would be overboard. I was just suggesting the bigger bottle since you have a bigger bottle of glue.
I’m not really good at math but it’s 1 TSP of activator PER 5 ounces of glue. Since 1 quart is 32 fluid ounces, you would need 6-7 TSP of the activator. Sometimes you need a little more or less to make the slime mixture so I just suggest getting the bigger bottle and playing around with it. Here’s the link I was looking at —> https://amzn.to/2MPC9BW
Michele says
Stacy,
Thank you for your reply. So, if I have 1 quart of Elmers glue and 1 quart of Elmers activator I just use them in equal parts?
Stacey Gibbon says
Hi Michele – if you look on Amazon Elmer’s recently came out with a large {1 qt} bottle of the slime activator.
As for the Dyso Clay, I’m not sure what that is so I can’t talk on it. I haven’t heard of it personally but knowing how awesome kids are with coming up with new ways and materials to make slime, it might be a thing. I would suggest googling it but our recipe with this activator does not require anything else :-)
– Stacey
Michele says
Hi! How much activator did I need for 1 quart of glue? Also my granddaughter told me to by Dyso Clay to use with the activator and glue. Is this needed? She is 6 and I don’t want to rely on what she is telling me. Thank you!
Michele
Stacey Gibbon says
I would think that means you used too much. Try slowly adding more glue to your mixture to see what happens.
Stacey says
If your slime is runny did you use too much magical liquid or not enough?
Stacey Gibbon says
Hi Michele -I’m not really great at math but one bottle does 4 batches of 1/4 cup magic liquid to 5oz Elmer glue. I’m guessing you will probably need wayyy more than one bottle of this activator for a gallon of glue to become a good slime mixture. I would definitely recommend sticking to the baking soda & contact solution recipe if you are looking to make a large amount of slime at one time.
-Stacey
Michele says
How much activator do I need for a gallon of glue?
Stacey Gibbon says
Hi Angel – I’m not exactly sure but it might be worth a try. Maybe just a few drops on the fingers and then work it back into the slime.
– Stacey
Angel says
It’s becoming very hard and stiff after the kids played with it, can you just add more magic liquid to make it like new again?
Stacey says
Hi Laurel – I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say 100% yes but it might be worth a try! – Stacey
Laurel Robinson says
Hi there!
Am I able to use a glue other than Elmer’s with this activator?
Thanks!
Stacey says
My best suggestion is to keep working it with your hands and add tiny amounts of magical liquid. Sometimes with the contact solution recipe, I have to add more solution as well, so maybe it’s the same tup with the magical liquid. Hopefully that helps! The biggest thing is to keep working it so it’s well combined – Stacey
Amy Michelle Zigler says
Our slime with the magical liquid was so sticky we can’t use it! Any advice?
Stacey says
Hi Cat – no it doesn’t contain borox ?
cat says
Does Elmer’s magical liquid contain borax?
