  Step 4 - Mix It Up

  

  Mix together the materials until they are completely mixed together and the slime has formed. This may take a little bit of time but you will see results happening relatively quickly. If you used food coloring continue to mix until there is no separation of the powder, alcohol and borax, and it is one consistency and relative color.
