• Add the baking soda: Add the baking soda to the glue mixture and stir until smooth.
• Add the contact lens solution: Pour in 2 tablespoons of the contact lens solution and stir slowly. The mixture should begin to harden, becoming stringy.
• Mix until a ball forms: Continue mixing slowly until a ball of slime forms.
• Knead by hand: Pick up the slime and work between your two hands, until smooth. If the slime is particularly slimy, work in another 1/2 tablespoon of contact lens solution as needed.
