Our Yuck Slime products are acrylic polymers. There are hundreds of these types of polymers out there, the most well known would be disposable diapers. But enough potty talk. Our products are made for us especially for use in games, where kids, (and adults! You aren’t left out around here!) can get in it and play safely.

Chunky Yuck: Fill the container halfway with water at least 24 hours before your event. Throw in the Chunky Yuck Slime and check back on it later. It will immediately start absorbing water. Add more water if needed and let sit. It will grow to the size of machine ice cubes. You can always drain excess water out of the Chunky Yuck Slime. Makes about 25 gallons.

Saucy/Sticky/Snowy Yuck: These all mix about the same. Start with some water in the container add the product and mix, keep adding the product and mixing until the desired consistency. Saucy Yuck Slime makes 25-40 gallons per pound depending on how thin you want it. The Sticky Yuck Slime makes 8-10 gallons per pound and Snowy Yuck Slime makes about 20-25 gallons per pound.

More detailed instructions and game ideas are included with your purchase.

After much trial and error and lots of blue, green, and yellow children, (we can’t understand why that was such an issue for their moms!), we offer Yuck Tints! These tablets come in yellow, green, red, and blue.
On the Yuck Tint page, we’ll help you figure out how much you need. You can use food coloring, but it does stain clothes and skin.

Oh yes! We offer a Yuck Slime Sample Pack for free, just pay a little shipping. You will be able to try all 4 types and will receive a teaspoon of each. This will make a small bowlful of each. This way you can also play with mixing them together for a variety of textures.

Yes, Yuck Slime is non-toxic and Mom-approved! We have Manufacturer Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for all types. Just give us a shout and we’ll send them over. With the prevalence of allergies, you may get parents who are concerned about their sensitive child. While every case is different as to a child’s reaction, the one thing we have had reported was reactions because of what another kid was wearing personal care products, laundry detergents, and also lawn chemicals or fertilizers that are being brought into the Yuck Slime.

As far as the environment, it is completely biodegradable. But we don’t recommend just leaving it in the playing field for several reasons, it’s slippery and will be until it completely breaks down, if left in piles it will cut off the oxygen to the grass and the grass will die, and last, it takes awhile to break down. (Especially the Saucy. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.)

It’s better to just throw it away.

A long time! So yes, you can make it the day before and not have any issues with it going away. After your event? Well, if you leave it on the ground it’s going to stay awhile, and if it rains or the area is watered it will stay slimey. I put some around my bushes one fall and with all our Portland rain it was still there the next spring. I recommend throwing it away.

We recommend throwing it in a dumpster or it can be composted as it will biodegrade. That means city compost, not a home one! Also, you can use salt to break it down. But be careful this doesn’t get into vegetation or sewers.

The best way to clean it up is to shovel it or sweep it. If you have used tarps washing them off with a hose works the best. Remember that wherever the Yuck lands will be slippery for a while, so clean off tarps into tubs for easy dumping.

Yes, you can if it is within a couple days, but once bodies are in it bacteria has been introduced. It can be dried but this involves having a large clean area where it can be spread very thin, and you still have the bacteria issue. Just throw out and get some more!

First hose off as much as possible. Do not get Yuck Slime in the shower/bath as it will clog the pipes and cause potential damage, especially since Saucy keeps growing (it absorbs water). Dry the clothes and then shake out well outside before laundering. No need to be hyper-vigilant.

If you are using the Chunky Yuck you want to start it 12-24 hours prior to use.

With the Saucy, Sticky, and Snowy you can make them a few hours prior to use.

Hot weather and heat do not affect Yuck Slime for just one day. It is so dense that you will not have any dehydration. But do cover to keep dirt and leaves out.

First, please check with your doctor or health provider. All of our Yuck Slime is non-toxic, but other people may be wearing something that is an allergy to someone else, i.e. cologne, laundry detergent, etc. and that gets into the Yuck Slime. Contact us for the MSDS.
