While we all wish our beloved slime could last forever, we know it's not the case. However, there are ways to make your slime last as long as possible, allowing you to savor the fun for an extended period. Here are some helpful tips to keep your slime in tip-top shape:

Store Slime in a Cool Place: Ensure that the storage location for your slime isn't too warm. Excessive heat can lead to slime melting. If, by any chance, your slime does melt, you can reactivate it with a bit of borax solution called 'Activator'.

Use an Airtight Container: When you receive your slime, it comes in a clear screw-top container. This container is excellent for preserving your slime. The screw lid seals the container, preventing air from getting in and drying out the slime.

Wash Your Hands Before Playtime: Clean hands are essential when playing with slime. Your hands can harbor germs and bacteria, and playing with slime using dirty hands transfers these to your slime. To prevent bacteria growth, make sure to wash your hands before indulging in some slime fun.

Moderate Playtime: Limit the duration of your slime play sessions. Extended playtime exposes your slime to more air and germs, increasing the risk of it drying out. Enjoy your slime in moderation to preserve its longevity.

Use a Slime Activation Spray: Slime of all kinds will get sticky over time. It only takes a week or so for this to happen. When your slime gets that streamed stick, just spray your SlimeWorks Activation Spray once or twice and knead thoroughly. Having the spray available can help it last up to a year! 

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your slime stays enjoyable for an extended period. Embrace the joy of slime without worrying about its lifespan!
