Slowly start adding contact lens solution into the mixture. This will slowly thicken the mixture. Make sure to keep mixing in between. Repeat this process until the slime starts to pull away from the bowl.

When the slime starts pulling away from the bowl, you can start to touch the slime. Keep adding the activator "Contact lens solution" until it becomes less sticky. You may start kneading with your hands if desired.

Store slime in an air tight container. To make slime clear you wait for 3-7 until all the bubbles dissolve.

Enjoy a calming and soothing therapeutic slime!
