BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I had not heard of the controversy, but I could see it happening in today's world.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuEulear Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 As long as fools like me live in places where we have hard water borax will be sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The EU has banned Borax as a food additive. As far as I can find it's not banned in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, maybe we can get him to lose his mind vocally about Youtube how to videos. I've never made slime but am looking it up. Just think of the fun of putting a dollop in someone's boot. Odorize it maybe? Ooooh, I'm off to google slime recipes! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedCustoms Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It's use may be a regional thing but lots of folks around here use it in their laundry. I don't see it leaving the shelf without a government mandate which I doubt will happen. I never heard of it being used a s a food additive but I never heard of it being used to make "slime" either. Moron kids have been sniffing paint at least since my school days and they haven't taken the spray cans out of my local hardware store! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
