"The Man. And The Wife."
Love you, too
The Man said:
I have a 5 gallon bucket and a smaller 1 gallon bucket. I mix 3 boxes of white cake mix, a bit of flour, a decent mount of oats, and a decent amount of food coloring in the smaller 1 gallon bucket. I slowly add in pretty warm to hot water and stir with a whisk. When I'm happy with the mixing, I dump the contents of the 1 gallon into the 5 gallon. Then repeat until the 5 gallon is full or it's as heavy as you can stand it.

So I have to ask after reading this - flour? How much, and how does it not get a bunch of lumps that get all stuck in her hair? I had one horrible experience with that from college that was bad enough for me to almost have to get a haircut to get it all out. I have long hair and definitely do not want that to happen if I were to add any kind of flour again!
Also does the food coloring stain? I've always avoided anything that might do that, and never wear anything with cotton but have to ask.
I appreciate the insight!
I'd personally avoid using flour for slime. My friend Andrew and I once tried experimenting with a flour-based slime recipe on Shelby and it ended in disaster! it congealed and clumped in her hair badly that it was tangled up to the point it was not able to be combed or brushed. And yes, like your particular college scenario, we almost had to cut her hair! Not a good moment to say the least. We used heavy conditioner and warm water to finally get the clumps out.

HI Hope!
The Wife's hair is super long and thick so I can understand where you are coming from. Cake mix is the main ingredient for our slime, flour is used as a thickener since just cake mix can be not opaque enough, oats used optionally to make it chunky. It is mixed together enough so there are no clumps, and if there are, they are small and will come out. As for food coloring, we use what I would call a TON of it in each slime to get that nice rich/deep color. It NEVER stains her skin...but it definitely can stain clothes. It only ever stains my fingers if the coloring falls directly from the bottle in its concentrated form...as in if I spill it on myself, lol.
I had someone message me about cleanup a while back, so I am going to copy/paste what was actually written by The Wife herself as the response. It's mainly about oats, but since we used oats/flour/cake mix all together in a lot of our slimes, it's relevant:
READ THIS!
I ran by The Wife what I wrote to you about showering off oats. She said I had it slightly wrong so I'm gonna let her take the keyboard and type exactly what the process is:
First I squeeze off/out any extra slime , pie, etc. then I let hot water run over it and squeeze off any more.
Second, I use a nice helping of conditioner through my hair and use what's called a Wet Shower Brush! It will really help untangle and get any little bits of flower or oats out. While brushing...if it's too hard to get the brush through, add more conditioner. Once I feel like my hair is free of slime and the brush goes through clean, rinse out the conditioner with warm water.
Third, shampoo as normal and condition one more time.
I can tell you the Wet Shower Brush was the best thing EVER! It really helps get everything out and doesn't pull out my hair to give me a headache. Its the fastest and easiest way to clean hair!
Slime...more slime!!!!!

Read my response to Hope! We use flour in almost every single slime!
