Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to create your custom slimes:
- Choose Your Slime Powder: Select one of the 10 slime powder packs.
- Add Powder to Mixer: Open the slime powder pack and pour its contents into the mixer cup on the workstation.
- Add Water: Using the mini funnel, carefully add water to the fill line indicated on the mixer cup.
- Mix: Close the mixer lid and turn the handle to spin and mix the contents for approximately 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Customize: Once the slime has formed, open the mixer. Now is the time to add your desired glitter from the tubes, confetti from the bags, or one of the surprise figures. Use the stir tool to gently incorporate them.
- Let it Rest: For best results, let the slime sit for 5 minutes to reduce stickiness.
- Play & Store: Your custom slime is now ready to play! When finished, store your slime in one of the shaker containers to keep it fresh.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your slime and kit components:
- Slime Storage: Always store your finished slime in the provided airtight shaker containers to prevent it from drying out. If slime becomes slightly dry, you can try adding a few drops of water and kneading it to restore its texture.
- Cleaning the Workstation: After each use, wipe down the Slime Factory Workstation and mixer with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used.
- Cleaning Tools: Wash the stir tool and mini funnel with warm, soapy water and let them air dry.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Slime is too sticky: If your slime remains too sticky after resting for 5 minutes, try kneading it for a few more minutes. Ensure you are using the correct amount of water as indicated in the instructions.
- Slime is not stretchy enough: If your slime lacks elasticity, try adding a very small amount of warm water and kneading it thoroughly. This can help improve its stretchiness.
- Slime did not form correctly: Ensure you added the correct amount of water to the slime powder. Mixing vigorously for the recommended time (2 minutes) is crucial for proper activation. Using tap water instead of distilled or bottled water has been reported to yield better results.
