We've been having a lot of fun mixing things up lately. But this did not go well. I followed
these instructions to make a polymer bouncing ball. I followed the instructions very carefully. But hey, maybe I did something wrong. Because that picture didn't even remotely resemble what we got.
 |
| The website said if we used clear glue, we would get translucent balls. But the corn starch made them opaque. |
 |
| They were sticky and weird feeling but eventually the stickiness went away as we kneaded it. But it never had the smooth surface of a regular bouncy ball. But it did bounce. |
 |
| This was the general reaction to the weird balls. |
 |
| Our complete failure to make Gak was more amusing and was also caused by my misreading the directions. We will try this one again. |
