How To Remove Slime From Ceiling

This was an interesting learning feel on a few fronts. First we learned how to make something cool.  Then we learned how to clean that cool matter off of surfaces, the ceiling for instance.

Slime/Gak

five oz (i/3c + 1/4c + 1 tbsp) of white school mucilage
one/four - 3/4 cup liquid laundry starch
nutrient color
glitter (if desired)

1. Pour glue into a bowl and mix in food color until desired color is reached. Add together in glitter.
2. Cascade in pocket-size amounts of liquid starch at a time and stir well. Keep adding starch until it is firm enough to pull out and knead.
3. Lightly coat baking sheet or plastic container with room to knead it with a small-scale amount of liquid starch. Pour slime into container and knead, calculation in more starch until desired consistency is reached.

Starting off I didn't know that they made laundry starch in a non aerosol industrial sized bottle! Now, I do. I found this canteen of STA-FLO in the laundry detergent aisle at Wal-Mart for $2.50. Each bottle I had of mucilage was originally seven.? ounces (I can't retrieve how much the .something was) and I had 1 and slightly less than one-half a bottles. Hence why I figured out the measurements above. Supposedly, you lot can get a 5 oz bottle of glue but I didn't discover whatsoever at the shop. That red bin is full of most of my glitter. I like glitter.

The kids had a bit of problem pouring the glue from the measuring cups so I assisted with spooning out the remaining. Don't mind too much if there is notwithstanding a bunch of gum stuck in there, become out as much every bit you can and move on. If you lot're annihilation like me this volition be difficult as I have a special spatula I utilise to make sure every unmarried flake I can go out of a bowl gets out. Spoons don't work also as prophylactic spatulas.

There was a LOT of stirring going on. Showtime trying to get the color dark enough and to become it consistently through the glue. Brianna wanted hers REALLY blue, as she was maxim hither.

Gabee'southward was red with green, orangish, and white glitter. Brianna wanted bluish slime with blood-red and purple glitter. Information technology took a flake of glitter to get the desired upshot. We found out courser glitter works better, not the really large kind more than of a medium sized glitter as the finer glitters didn't show upwardly too. We used probably a tablespoon or more glitter for each cup of slime.

I helped the kids by pouring in the starch while they stirred. I poured in one/4 cup and then 1/8 cup increments afterward that until we got to a signal where it was holding together and hard to stir with a spoon. Then I fabricated my outset fault. I over estimate how well it was holding together and over estimated the non stick abilities of wax paper.

After realizing my fault I quickly tried to get it support merely we lost some slime and fabricated a huge mess trying to become it off the paper. Information technology stuck to the paper and we ended upwardly ripping it a lot.

I grabbed an 8x8 non stick pan and a plastic container from IKEA and added a flake of liquid starch earlier putting the slime on the surfaces of the containers. This worked SOOO much better. Information technology barely stuck to the containers and what did stick was much easier to get off. They kneaded it more and more adding in about a tablespoon more than liquid starch at a time. Watch your kids though. Gabee started maxim his arm was burning once he was touching the liquid starch direct. I had him go was his arms well with soap and h2o and I resumed kneading his slime.

After it was all kneaded and to a proficient consistency Gabee had no problem playing with it. No more burning. Brianna's was a bit stiffer and less sticky than Gabee's. Both were good but when information technology comes to the consistency of the slime the more liquid starch you add together the stiffer it will get. Imagine that laundry starch making things stiff. Whodathunkit?

They played with it for quite with it. I'd say it held the most attention of the projects I have washed this summer and so far.

This is a close upwardly of the glitter mixed into Brianna's slime, Gabee'southward was difficult to get a picture of the right color or the glitter because the lighting in my dining room is not and so peachy and the glitter was light.

Then came the second error. I was unware I needed to tell the kids non to throw the slime and while I was out of sight they were apparently throwing it in the living room and when I reentered the room I found Brianna on a chair trying to reach the slime that was still stuck to the ceiling. Since she couldn't reach information technology, she was instead trying to take hold of the small bead of slime falling to the floor. Thankfully she caught them all. I took my metallic spatula for making cupcakes and got off as much as I could.

So using a damp sponge with a little fleck of lather I started slowly wiping the slime. After a few minutes information technology started to roll up and come off onto the sponge. With a bit more than scrubbing it eventually all came off.

It did leave a slight bluish tint in the generally area of cleaning, but wiping it down once more with h2o while the ceiling was still moisture got rid of that. It has at present dried and you tin can't tell we ever had blue slime stuck on the ceiling.

Gabee also got some on the rug. I picked out as much as I could and then scrubbed really difficult with the sponge and most of it came out but the white stripes in our carpet are nevertheless tinted slightly pink red. Try to avoid getting it on cloth surfaces all together.

Yard Total = $5 to make 2 batches for me. I already had food color and glitter though and then the toll volition increase if you are starting with nothing.
