GAK! (not GOOP) recipe includes White Glue, Borax, Cornstarch. 1. Empty an 8 oz bottle of Elmer's Glue into a bowl. 2. Then we filled the empty bottle with warm water and some silver liquid watercolor, swished it around and that went into the bowl with the glue. After a bit of stirring with a spoon, 3. We mixed one teaspoon of Borax into a half cup of warm water and added that to the glue. Almost instantly the mixture started congealing. 4. I took the slimy part out of the excess water and plopped it into another bowl. If you want Gak to be colored, I recommend tempera paint or food coloring (as the recipe suggests). Liquid watercolor with an actual color might work as well, but don't waste the metallics on this project.
