Where can I buy borax?

[pinklady]

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.

I use cornflower too, but you should be able to get borax from a hardware shop, although it can be dearer than cornflower!

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

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