If you want to keep things super simple, we recommend purchasing NO EARLIER than a month before the gifting date to ensure the slime is as fresh as possible!
Hereβs the full context (if youβre interested):
Slimeβs main ingredients are glue and activator, thatβs what turns it from glue into a more putty-like substance. However, over the course of time the activator βevaporatesβ β well, I donβt know the chemical term for it β but basically the bonds between them break down and it slowly turns back into glue causing the slime to get sticky.Β
Itβll start getting a bit sticky after a few weeks, and then after 1-2 months can start getting very sticky. This is still fixable with our included activator pens, BUT itβs not a great gifting experience if you get it and itβs completely melted. Itβs much more manageable to simply add a bit of activator every few weeks instead of waiting until itβs fully melted after a few months.Β
HOWEVER β we do have some slime textures that donβt get sticky nearly as quickly! Weβll cover it more in the next section, but these slimes actually donβt get sticky for over 3 months. However, as many of them are multi-colored, we still donβt recommend buying them too far in advance or the colors may begin to mix.
