Don't Play With ACID SLIME



Why would you ever think that making acid slime was a smart thing?

Making a video and project based on a moronic YouTube comment seems like a really bad idea, not necessarily anything especially dangerous, just something dumb.

The acid clearly doesn't let the slime 'set up' which isn't really all that surprising because polyvinyl alcohol slime holds together via cross linking (check the graphics here), and the extra hydrogen ions would likely break down all of those cross links - if not even depolymerize the PVA.

The pH test strips, by the way, are absolutely useless there because all of the acids that they're testing would have pHs well below 1, leaving them likely outside the useful range of the strips.

That was dumb.
