Glo Goo "Stella gets messy with glow in the dark slime."
Okay, I admit it, I was inspired to make glowing goo by replaying Fallout 3 and Halflife. What can I say, something about the thought of rolling around in the glowing radioactive waist spoke to me. Sure, my stuff won't give me super powers or cause my dna to break down, but it looks fantastic.
Once darkness had fallen I screwed in my black lights and caused my slime to light up the night. This gunge seriously glowed. I eagerly crawled into my slipper puddle of sticky yuck and was in awe as even the strands I pulled away from the main pool glowed bright. I needed this on me, so I could become as bright as it was. I pulled gobs of it away, letting it slowly pull down my hands onto and over me until I couldn't take it anymore and rolled in my glo goo.
For anyone curious, this was sticky yuck slime mixed with phosphorescent paint powder for bath bombs.
Just stunning, I am curious though did you make that slime or buy it ? Either way I love the look of it as im a huge fan of black lights I have a large 3 foot long one around here some where. Excellent work Stella.

This slime is a powder based slime I got from Buckets-o-Fun called Sticky Yuck. It is the same slime I use in my clear slime video and is absolutely fantastic. All you need to do is mix it with water and you have an instant fantastic slime. I highly recommend it. Also check out their chunky and saucey slime if stringy isn't your thing. I've done one video with chunky dyed green. https://buckets-o-fun.com/product/sticky-yuck-slime/
I also added a glow in the dark paint powder with the slime powder and mixed it thoroughly until it was mostly dissolved. After sitting for an hour all the leftover chunks were dissolved and a final stir and pour was all it needed.
BUT~! This slime acts like a surfactant which means it makes water wetter by lowering it's surface tension, which means it is an absolute BIIIIITCH to clean/wash off of yourself. We are talking an hour long shower, a credit card or gift card to try to scrape as much of it off of you, and something sturdy to grab onto when you are washing this off. As much as I love this slime (believe me I do) the reason I don't use it often is how difficult it is to wash off.

First off, fantastic pics! And I concur about Sticky Yuck. I mixed up a big batch to play with on my waterbed and while it felt fantastic, cleanup was such a chore.

Uh, UV-A radiation from black-lights does damage the cellular DNA but only in your skin cells and eyes. Frequent exposure is linked to "snow blindness" (a type of retina damage) and malignant melanoma. That stuff looks amazing and obviously is only harmful if you did it on a regular basis (more than 30mins a day) but as a science nerd I felt the need to point out that black-lights are not as harmless as people think. As a general rule just because it something is legal to sell doesn't make it safe.

It's a long-chain polymer. Just use salt water to dissolve it. A rough scrubbie or wash cloth also catches and breaks apart the long strings, helping it to rinse off faster.

I'm sure the arc flashes I get when I'm welding are much worse for my eyes and skin.
