Wash and fully dry your hands before touching slime. Oils, sweat, and food residue will shorten your slime's life and can cause mould. Apply a small amount of unscented lotion if your hands are dry.

Always seal your slime tight when you're not playing. Leaving it open — even for a few hours — causes it to dry out. Use the original container or a clean, sealed alternative.

Heat is slime's enemy! Store in a cool, dry spot — away from windows, direct sunlight, and heat vents. In Queensland's summer heat, storing slime in the fridge can extend its life significantly.

Slime that gets played with stays happier longer! Aim for 10–15 minutes of play per session. The oils from your hands actually help maintain the slime's texture over time.

Add a few drops of Activator at a time to your slime and knead well. A little goes a long way — don't overdo it!

Slime is not edible and contains small parts that are a choking hazard. Supervise children under 4 at all times and keep slime far from curious pets and little siblings!
