You have Gack!
Oobleck- 50 cc cornstarch (2 big Tbs)
- 25 ml water (1 ounce)
Mix cornstarch and water together.
Remove from cup and knead. Add few drops water if oobleck too crumbly.
Glurch - 45 ml (3 Tbs) liquid laundry starch
- 25 ml (5 tsp) white (Elmers) glue
- Pinch of salt
Put starch into small plastic bowl, add salt, stir, add glue and stir. Squeeze out excess starch with fingers. Remove from bowl and knead. Add a few grains of salt if too runny.
Glurch 2- 20 ml (4 tsp) Elmers white glue mixed in 25 ml (5 tsp) water
- Food coloring, as desired
- 4% sodium borate solution (Borax in warm water) or liquid Sta-Pruf starch (the blue stuff is the only one that works)
Add food coloring to glue solution. Stir while adding either borax solution or Sta-Puff until the glurch forms. Pour off excess liquid, then dump glurch onto wax paper for a minute or two. Knead glurch to proper consistency. If too sticky, add a little borate/starch.
Flubber- 11/2 cups Elmers glue
- 4 Tablespoons Borax (laundry detergent aisle)
- 4 Cups water
Mix 2 cups water and Elmers glue in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups water and Borax.
After it's dissolved, pour the Borax mixture a little at a time into the glue mixture and stir. You might not need all of the Borax mixture. Squish it, poke it, or try sticking a bit of it at the end of a straw and blowing a bubble. Watch it ooze through your fingers.
Vinegar takes flubber out of clothes. Mayonnaise takes it out of hair.
