Just Curious - For those that make and dump slime on pretty girls on a regular basis, how do you go about it and what temperature is the slime when used? How long do you wait after making a slime before using it.
One time I made a batch and it wasn't used for hours and hours after, and it was ice cold. Another time I made it with HOT water and it was still quite warm after about an hour.
Just curious what others have experienced? Do you worry about Temps or do you just call cold slime the price of doing business for your poor slimees?
My slimee prefers warm temps to cold ones so looking to pick up some useful tips if I can. AND... if one is just freezing.... well that's just too bad now isn't it?
I don't use a ton of slime but when I make it I use very warm water and the models seem to appreciate itespecially after a bunch of cold pies (there's only so warm you can make a product called Cool Whip)
Slime/gunge is typically the last messy material we make before a session. The pies can all be done up earlier but I prefer to have warm slime over cold.
We have also talked about making up the slime and letting the full buckets sit in a tub of hot water to keep as warm as possible for as long as possible.
When we first started, we would use our hands to mix or a hand mixer. We have since "upgraded" to a paint mixer attached to a hand drill. Makes for much faster/more thorough mixing.
I go with room temperature, but given my part of the world that isn't exactly cold.
If it's too far under I get cold and have a bad time, but if it's too warm I find that the cake batter kind of starts to set up a little bit. It doesn't get doughy but I can tell something's starting to set up a little bit. That's also why I throw whatever I was wearing in a tub of cold water to clean off instead of cleaning up very much of it with the shower wand afterwords.

I generally use my hands and fingers to gage temperature before using
Also make it in front of anyone in collaborating with to get tips and suggestions in real time
I always start with warm (/hot) water- since by the second(/3rd/4th etc) sessions I have buckets of cold gunge to re-use anyway. And staying covered in gunge for a while tends to sap heat from the body anyway, so might as well start off warm. Except in the peak of summer- a cold gunging is fantastic for escaping the heat.
Also if you mix it too cold- the powder can drop out of suspension before it can react properly with the water. You're left with a bucket of cold rainbow water and very thick solid jelly gunge at the bottom.
Although my partner says to mix it cold because it's more fun to throw over me than warm stuff.
I don't do as much slime anymore, but in my experience the models ALWAYS want it warm, not cold. Unfortunately, the reality is.... You make the slime in advance, because it takes a lot longer than simply making a couple pies. And sometimes, models show up late. And so the slime is sitting there for hours, and I've had models complain about the slime being cold.... and I go, "You know, if you'd shown up at noon and not 2:30....."
My go-to now is to make the slime using the hottest water possible (that won't burn me). Then I put the buckets in a tub filled with scalding hot water. Eventually the water becomes room temp but it DOES keep the slime warmer for longer. But of course, the best solution is to make the slime RIGHT before you use it, and if you're only shooting one scene or doing it yourself, that will definitely work.

Haha that's a little too relatable. Attempted start time: 10:00, actual start time: 11:30 Even with a friend helping out I'm like the guy with two buttons who has to pick one of them. Cake batter wrong temperature Pies fall flat
I'm guessing you actually mean gunge, rather than slime?
Slime: lumpy, opaque, usually green, often made of nasty stuff, meant to be humiliating, and I believe always cold. Gunge: Made from powder mixed with warm water, bright colours, smooth and easy pouring. (Definitions originally by Kesley, which I think everyone accepted as correct)
In our case, we always make up the gunge for each scene just before we shoot it, while the girls are changing into their fresh outfits and doing their makeup upstairs. We usually find there's a one-hour "changeover" between the end of one scene and the start of the next, during which I clean up the dungeon, break out the supplies, if food, or mix the gunge, for the next scene, while the girls change and get ready in parallel.
We use water that's just as hot as the hottest I'd run a bath, as because the gunge is thicker than water, there's a risk of scalding if any "hot bubbles" (as in areas of hotter liquid, not air bubbles) remained after mixing. It cools down but is still much warmer than having cartons of custard that have spent all night chilling in an unheated North Yorkshire dungeon poured into their pants.
A general scene, we make two buckets per model and sometimes let them pick the colours, as they're going to be the ones who end up wearing them, unless the scene calls for a specific colour. Each bucket effectively costs £5 and takes 5 minutes to mix. Which doesn't sound like much but if you want six buckets that's half an hour gone just on the mixing.
Sometimes we'll make more, depending on what a scene calls for. It's generaly still cheaper than using food, especially after the recent price rises, and the girls enjoy playing in it.
I make mine with the hottest water that I can get out of the faucet, but it has to sit for at least 2 hours for the oatmeal to soak up the water so that it doesn't clog drains. I add the final ingredients and hot water about 30-45 minutes before it finally gets dumped. It's never hot and not even really that warm by then, and I reuse it all day if I'm shooting 2-3 scenes. It's always cold by the second scene.
Moral of the story: try as you might, but if you want to use my type of slime, it's not going to be hot or really even warm, more than likely. On the plus side, this makes for better reactions from the victims.
You know, last two girls I slimed, were both at a public park, so actual hot water was not an option. I usually do this in summer, about mod 80s Fahrenheit, although the second girl unfortunately we did when it was unseasonably cold, so that sucked.
I knkw ultimately its a model call, but is cool some as much of a problem when it's done outside in the heat?

Partly that's going to be down to the model, and even depend on how much they're getting paid, but local ambient temperature will make a huge difference. Cold gunge outdoors in Las Vegas at this time of year? Probably no problem, the cold will be a relief from the heat. Same thing a thousand feet above sea level in the Yorkshire Dales? Not unless the model is a particularly masochistic cold-water fetishist hemselves.
But yeah, anywhere where it's actually warm outside, probably fine.
When I do my customs I instruct the girls to use hot water. But my recipe also calls for a gallon of milk, so the hot water counteracts the cold milk to get a reasonable temp.
Recently in one of my customs I forgot to tell her to use hot water and in the behind-the-scenes at the end she talks about it being absolutely freezing to the point that her toes were turning blue (figuratively, I presume). Oops!
