I've got a messy play recipe to make gloop but it needs borax and I can't find it anywhere!! Any ideas anyone?

I use cornflour and water, it's much easier.

The only borax I know is the one worn in the film. It just covers mens "bits". So sorry have no idea!!!

I use cornflower too, but you should be able to get borax from a hardware shop, although it can be dearer than cornflower!
***** proofed the house but they're still getting in!
I used to get borax from Lloyds chemist, many years ago

cornflower and water here also
I read recently it can also be an irritant so I would be really reluctant to use it. I use cornflour and water
Sorry, never used the stuff.
Have you tried Wilkinson's - they are quite good

Isn't borax a poision. My mum used to use it with icing sugar to kill ants. They sold it at my local hardwear shop but to be honest I wouldn't use it with children.

www.summernaturals.co.uk - Anne used to sell it. I am feeding my DD and typing one handed so haven't looked.
Our local cheap shop sells it so does our hardware store. It's used traditionally for laundry so that section would be a good place to look.
It's supposed to make really good flubber too but I never got around to trying after I bought the borax, lol
Oh yeah, Boots chemist sell it too (just remembered!)
Never heard of it, I use corn flour and water too, Brilliant fun
Needs to Zumba
Wilkinsons sell it but I use cornflour and water
Thanks for all your replies
This recipe makes a different texture to cornflour and water. I went on a sensory play course and the tutor had made some. It's quite shiny and almost plastic to feel but pliable.
I've searched all the hardware stores and supermarkets but no joy.
Amazon has some

They charge postage depending on the weight of the order, I am a registered customer so will see how much it is. BRB!
edit: £1.99 for postage on the £1.50 borax.
