(Yes I am talkiing about sodium tetraborate better known as borax (E285): a salt as the result of a chemical reaction between sodium and boric acid.) In combination with a fatty acid borax is SOAP. But does not have the harmful properties of borax.Ĭurrent research has shown that borax is toxic. This is also a salt and also forms combined with a fatty acid a SOAP. A good replacement for borax however is potassium carbonate. A home-made flubber recipe! Just don’t make it if you don’t like it!!!!!! How about some perspective? However, anyone with negative comments should leave them if they feel they must to advise people of their concerns, Anyone who shares those concerns can then do the research and just not make the stuff if they agree that their kids are being poisoned! I see no need to be abusive or for carrying on the argument for ever. I get it that most of you just want to express your opinion and reassurances, which is great, and as I am in Australia too, it’s good to know where to get the glue etc. I have a science degree but not one in chemistry, organic or inorganic so it was pretty useless to me. There is a lot of scientific info given later in the page, but if you don’t have the expertise to understand it, it’s not much use. If that is not correct though, you could try contacting some hotline or other to see what it is in commercial preparations for. It is the same ingredient used in some papier mache recipes for the same reason. I’m pretty sure that the borax or boric acid isn’t an active ingredient in this process, but is used to prevent biological attack of the end-product while in storage, so could probably be left out altogether if necessary, with the result that the flubber may not last as long. I gave up reading the comments after the first 10 minutes or so. I’m not normally moved to comment on these sorts of things … in fact, this is the first time ever.
i will do my best to respond to comments as i can but in some cases, i simply do not know the answers.*** having said all this, i am going to continue to use it with my children as they love playing with it.
BOUNCY SILLY PUTTY RECIPE FREE
feel free to look at those if you like, but just because i have “published” the comments does not mean i endorse them one way or another. some people have offered suggestions in the comments section and some have even provided links. nonetheless, i am by no means an expert and assume that you will do your own research and use it as you see fit. for those expressing concern about borax, my understanding is that it is not harmful and is different than boric acid. some helpful, others extremely rude, the latter of which i will not publish. having said that, i’ve received many comments expressing concern about borax. we tried it out and my kids absolutely loved it! i’m thrilled that so many others have loved it as well. ***UPDATE: i just want to reiterate that i got this recipe from my son’s preschool. Step 3: slowly add glue mixture to borax mixture. Step 2: in bowl 2 – mix together the hot water and borax, until the borax is completely dissolved. Step 1: in bowl 1 – mix together the cold water, glue, and food coloring. Liquid food coloring (over here on amazon – that’s an aff link)ġ teaspoon borax (you can find this in a box in the laundry aisle or on amazon here – though as per disclaimer and comments please make your own educated decision! ) aliens movie! are you curious to know for yourself what this stuff is like?! try it yourself – your kids will love it!! here’s the recipe!ġ cup Elmer’s glue (over here on amazon – that’s an aff link) when you mix the two together, a magical thing happens – it turns into this smooth elastic-y substance that i can’t quite describe – though it does remind me a lot of “B.O.B.” on the monsters vs. in a separate bowl, mix hot water and borax. mix the glue, water, and food coloring in one bowl.
Some water, glue, borax, and food coloring is all you need. my own excitement came when i saw that she’d also sent home the recipe! i couldn’t wait to make it at home – i already had everything i needed! The other day my kid came home from school super excited – his teacher had sent him home with his own bag of flubber! i’d heard of this fun playdough-type of thing, but had never made it nor held it in my own hands.
