How to dispose gloop when done?

Hi we have just had a very very very messy but fun morning playing with gloop(cornflour and water) and lots of pink food colouring which my 2 boys 7 and 11 where not impressed with but love gloop.my kitchen has now turned pink lol.we used nearly all the cornflour and lots of water.was wondering whats the best place to dispose of now?

I'd use cold to start off with - hot may make it solidify! :panic:

I actually tip as much of the water away as I can, and then let the gloop dry. We usually do ours outside in a tuff tray, so it generally dries within an hour or so. I then pick up the pieces carefully and either throw them away, or put them in a container (without lid) and use again. I just brush the powdered bits away.

hi i leave mine for a few days it goes hard then tip in bin wouldnt like to block drain again i did when poured that gelly bath down drain lol:)

I leave it to dry out a bit, bag it and bin it :thumbsup:

I like this tip, always looking to re-use where I can!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it has never occured to me to not put it down the sink!!! i always just wash it away! Thank goodness I have never blocked the pipes my OH wouldn't be impressed!

We made it with yellow food dye once, when we let it dry out, we crumbled it up and it was then a quarry and the diggers etc went in and started moving it about. Two lots of play in one. Then bag it and rehydrate at a later date - if not filthy by this stage!

re-use whenever we can in this house!

my mindees carefully spread it all over the patio last time :rolleyes: thank goodness we then had some heavy rain :laughing:
