Silly Putty Help!
I was trying to make some silly putty using the following recipe:
2 parts white glue
1 part liquid starch
food coloring
This recipe is everywhere on the net, so people have clearly had some success with it. I got a liquid that never turned into anything but a liquid.
Some details:
The glue I was using was old, possibly as much as 10 years, but it still flowed like glue's supposed to.
The starch I was using was niagra spray liquid starch, I just unscrewed the spray top and poured.
I used 1/2 c. glue, 1/4 c. starch.
Any ideas for what might have gone wrong?
ETA: I got different starch, sta-flo, and new glue, and the recipe worked (without food coloring). So probably either the starch or the old glue was the issue.
