Does lotion soften putty?
Overtime putty may become stiffer than you would like, to fix this you can add a squeeze of hand/body lotion or a few drops of glycerin, knead the lotion in really well and this will help soften the putty up and get it stretchy again.
Add Water and Hand Lotion
Place some putty on a clean flat surface. While wearing gloves, mix about 2 tablespoons of water into the putty and kneed it by hand. It should start to become pliable. Then squirt some hand lotion into the plumber's putty to soften it up even more.
A solvent, such as lacquer thinner, can also be used to soften the putty, but this usually takes time - and often more than one application - to soften the compound all the way through.
The lotion will loosen and moisten the putty to help change the texture. You don't need a lot of lotion to change the texture of the putty. Place a dab of hand lotion in the center of the putty. Add about 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) for every 1 ounce (28 g) of putty.
The Borax solution “crosslinks” the polymers present in the glue. This creates the chemical change that creates the bouncy putty, according to the University of Akron. Double or triple the ingredients to make larger batches of bouncy putty.
Fluffy slime is really just regular slime made with shaving cream added. The amount of shaving cream you add will change the texture and consistency of the slime. The more you add, the “fluffier” it will be.
Adding essential oils to your thinking putty gives it another level of therapy. Whether you use, lavender for a calming effect, peppermint for an energy boost, or something like A+ Attention for focusing. They will all have a wonderful effect on your child.
We have activator available, although a little bit of vegetable oil will also work. So put a few drops on your hands and then kneed the putty until it is mixed in.
The difference between slime and putty is their consistency, or how they feel and behave in your hands.
If it is water-soluble, you get thin, runny putty. But most putty is oil-based, so you get a horrible water-oil mixture which probably isn't good for much of anything.
How do you make putty with baking soda?
...
Recipe 2:
- 2 ounces white glue (like Elmer's)
- 1/8 cup water.
- 1/2 tsp baking soda.
- contact lens solution (like Biotrue)
The invention of Silly Putty started out scientifically. During World War II, the United States government was in dire need of a substitute for rubber to use on such things as boots and airplane tires. They asked their engineers to experiment with silicone to find this synthetic rubber.
1 cup of cornstarch. 1/2-1 cup clear gel-like soap * Food coloring or gel colors. A small bowl and spoon for mixing.
Silly Putty's unusual flow characteristics are due to the ingredient polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a viscoelastic substance. Viscoelasticity is a type of non-Newtonian flow, characterizing material that acts as a viscous liquid over a long time period but as an elastic solid over a short time period.
Q: Why is my putty sticky now? Add a bit of baking soda - It'll make it less sticky! Worked for me.
You can patch in new putty on top of old putty as long as the old stuff is still adhering well. We call this spot glazing and here's how you do it: Using a putty knife or 5-in-1, dig out as much of the old putty as possible. Leave the really stubborn stuff in place.
Body lotion makes the slime stretchy. Add more for extra stretch. Baby oil makes the slime less sticky so it doesn't stick to your hands as easily.
The essential physics is that silly putty is elastic on a short time scale and viscous on a long time scale. It will bounce when you drop it since the impact time is very short. But it will stretch when you pull it since the force is applied for a long time.
Product Description
Take a lump of this putty and roll it into a ball, then throw or drop it on a hard surface and watch it bounce. It behaves like a typical bouncy ball, only you can mould it's shape. Choose to merge the putty colours together or keep them separate.
High bouncing, good quality silicone putty-like substance (silly putty) is made by a method which comprises mixing dimethyl silicone gum (polysiloxane gum), a boron compound (e.g., boric acid) and a reinforcing filler into sheet forms.
What is putty made of?
putty, cementing material made of whiting (finely powdered calcium carbonate) and boiled linseed oil. It is beaten or kneaded to the consistency of dough and is used to secure sheets of glass in sashes, to stop crevices in woodwork, and to fill nail holes.
The slime will thicken and become dough-like as you stir. If your slime isn't the right consistency, add more ingredients as you stir. More shampoo will make it slimier, and more toothpaste will make it doughier.
Start with a bowl of cornstarch. Add an equal amount of hair conditioner and start mixing together. If the mixture is too wet, add more cornstarch. If it's too dry, add more conditioner.

Polymer Putty is made from the reaction between glue, which is made up of droplets of a polymer called polyvinyl acetate suspended in water, and borax. The borax crosslinks the polymer and a network structure is formed. The putty is held together by very weak intermolecular bonds that provide flexibility.
Mix putty with water in right ratio: you need to know the right mixture ratio if you are using cement wall putty. The general rule of thumb is two parts white cement putty and one part water (2:1). However, refer to the manufacturer's instruction. The goal is to get a peanut-butter-like consistency.

What is Silly Putty called?
Silly Putty (originally called nutty putty, and also known as Potty Putty) is a silicone plastic, marketed today as a toy for children, but originally created as an accident during the course of research into potential rubber substitutes for use by the United States during World War II.
Silicone is an oil-based product and by nature will not dry out. If Silly Putty is left out of the container over a period of several years, it may harden due to other ingredients contained in the putty.
Butter Slime. This slime looks just like and has the consistency of butter, it's one of the more difficult ones to make because the measurements are so exact, but the results are worth it.

ITS PRICE HAS NEVER CHANGED.
Silly Putty was first sold in 1950 for $1.
The government didn't want his “nu*tty putty,” but a few years later, businessman Peter Hodgson noticed what a hit the stuff was at a party. He renamed it “Silly Putty” and marketed it as a toy, packaging it in colorful plastic eggs because he put it out around Easter time.
Can you eat Silly Putty?
We have ensured that our products are safe since 1903, when we first began offering crayons. All Crayola and Silly Putty products have been evaluated by an independent toxicologist and found to contain no known toxic substances in sufficient quantities to be harmful to the human body, even if ingested or inhaled.
Step 4: Prepare the puttyWork the putty by hand to make it smooth. Add a little linseed oil to soften it or leave it in the sun while you take out the glass.
You will need 1 pint of linseed oil, 1 pint of household bleach, a sturdy paintbrush and a putty removal tool. Combine the oil and bleach in a clean container, mix it, and brush it onto the hardened putty until it looks wet. Let the mixture sit for an hour, and apply a second coat.
Silly Putty will dissolve when in contact with an alcohol; after the alcohol evaporates, the material will not exhibit its original properties. If Silly Putty is submerged in warm or hot water, it will become softer and thus "melt" much faster.
If you add something like salt to the material, the salt dissolves into the Silly Putty and actually stops this sort of interaction happening.
Because putty is thicker and more solid than slime, this means different kinds of play. While slime is great for making huge slime bubbles and running gobs of it through your hands, putty usually comes in smaller quantities.
