November 25, 20178 yr I had not heard of the controversy, but I could see it happening in today's world....
November 25, 20178 yr I don't think Borax will be banned. The controversy revolves around making "slime" out of it. I can see the "I don't like, so you can't do it" crowd jumping on it though.

I've had the same 5 lb box for several years and it's over half full. When it comes to flux a little will do a lot.
