  • ½ cup warm water

  • Slowly stir in your contact lens solution (start with about 1 tablespoon). You’ll notice the mixture firm up and pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Notes

Check the label of your contact lens solution to ensure it contains boric acid or sodium borate. This is the key ingredient that activates the slime.
