This slime is similar to corn-starch slime, but much more gooey and slippery, yet easy to rinse away.

The only product you'll need is Arrowroot Powder, sometimes called Arrowroot Starch or Arrowroot Flour. (all the same thing with different names)

So here are the simple instructions. You may color it with tempura paint or food coloring or leave it and it will become clear as it cools down all the way.

INSTRUCTIONS:

- 1 Pour 3 cups of cold water into an empty saucepan. (clear or tinted with food coloring or tempura paint)

- Add 1 cup Arrowroot powder

- Stir slowly and steadily while heating on high. The powder will want to settle to the bottom and burn, so use a flat-ended spatula or wooden implement to scrape the bottom of the pan as you stir.

- Bring near to a boil. The temperature needs to be around 180f or you can just pay attention to the consistency. If you see it turning more translucent and less white, it's nearly ready. Also, it will begin to thicken somewhat. This means it is time to remove it from the heat.

- Be VERY careful not to touch the substance at this temperature. The fastest way to cool it down is to put cold water in the sink, and set the pan in the water, being careful not to get water inside the pan. Slowly stir what's in the pan so that the cool sides of the pan come into contact with more of the slime that was in the middle of the pot. If it's winter where you live, you could also just set the pan out in the snow, letting it sink to a safe depth where snow or debris won't get inside of the pot. Or you can just let it sit and cool off on its own. At any rate, do NOT risk a burn until you are certain that it has cooled off. I'm sure you don't want a nurse at the emergency dept of the hospital asking how you burned your penis.

- AVAILABILITY: This product is sold by WalMart and most grocery stores. Remember it may be packaged as powder, starch, or flour, depending on the brand. It's all the same stuff though.

- ADJUSTING FOR QUANTITY: This recipe makes a small batch of slime. To make more or less of it, simply stay with the 3 to 1 ratio of water to powder. So you could take a full plastic pail of the powder and three pails of water. The only limiting factor is the size of the pot you have and the length of time you're willing to stir this z

- ADJUSTING FOR CONSISTENCY: Using less water will make it thicker. Be aware though, that it reaches partial thickness as it finishes on the stove, but then after cooling, it is thicker still. After it's cooled, you can carefully stir in some water if it's too thick, but it's best to get the texture right from the start.

- PROS & CONS:

A disadvantage of this is the amount of time it takes to heat it up and constantly stir it, only to be followed by more time in waiting for it to cool down.

Advantages are that it is very inexpensive to make, available just about anywhere, and very easy to rinse off. Other slimes (such as ones made with Yuck) take a long time to rinse off of anything porous, such as clothing or people. The Arrowroot slime just dissolves fast in water and is gone easily.
