You likely won't need more than spoonful.
Then just knead away until the slime softens., Another way to soften slime is to add a drop or two of antibacterial gel.
The brand doesn't matter.
Place the slime in a bowl, and just drip the gel in.
Use a spoon to stir it in as well as you can.
Then you can knead it until soft.
Bonus, now your slime will be bacteria-free (for a while, anyway).You can add more gel if it doesn't soften on the first try. , Lotion keeps your skin nice and soft, and it can do the same for your slime.
Go figure! Just put a spoonful or two in a bowl (four or five pumps if your lotion comes with a pump).
Add a splash of water, and mix the two together.
Now the fun part! Throw the slime in, and squish it around a bit.
Once your slime is covered in the lotion, you can take it out and knead it by hand until it's soft., If you used a recipe that called for glue plus Borax, laundry detergent, or liquid starch, sometimes adding a bit more glue can help the situation.
