Troubleshooting

Slime not forming correctly

Ensure you are using the correct measurements of ingredients as per the lab notebook. Check the activation agent (if applicable) and try again, or adjust the amount of activator slightly.

Experiments not producing expected results

Double-check that all steps in the lab notebook have been followed precisely. Ensure all components are clean and dry before use. Verify any additional household ingredients are fresh and of the correct type.

Goggles feel uncomfortable

Adjust the strap for a snug but comfortable fit. If the goggles are consistently uncomfortable, ensure they are worn correctly over the eyes.
