How to make home made flubber?

Question

Whats an EASY way to make flubber?

Answer 1

You know you can't make your own flubber - only Robin Williams and Fred MacMurray can do that!  I watched the Fred MacMurray version last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it - hadn't seen it in years.

You can make your own silly putty though.  Just search for a recipe if you want to make that or play dough!

Answer 2

this doesn't bounce but corn starch and water...it feels hard but it drips through your fingers

Answer 3

I've learn how to do this since when I was in 5th grade at school.

Here are some steps how to make a flubber.

Materials

Mixture 1 ingredients: 3/4 cups warm water

                                1 cup of Elmer's glue

                                food coloring

Mixture 2 ingredients: 2 tsp borax

                                1/2 cup of warm water

Procedures:

  First mixture 1 ingredients should be in a container & mixture 2 should be in another container, stir them both. Make sure they are mixed well. Then pour mixture 1 ingredients into the mixture 2 ingredients container. No need to stir it, just reach in & pull out glob of flubber & place the flubber on a tray & let it sit for like 2 to 3 minutes before playing with it. Store in air tight container. Enjoy!

Answer 4

I do recall a recipe from the days of the Fred MacMurray version of the movie, and a heroic but disastrous attempt on my mother's part to cook up a batch of flubber for me and other kids in the neighborhood.  Made a terrific mess that stuck to everything.  

A silly putty substitute is pretty simple, and those are the recipes that are being posted, but Flubber, transparent, flecked with sparkly speckles, and imbued with a kinetic resilience that defies the laws of physics, increasing its energy with each bounce, remains a magical if not mystical substance whose creation is more alchemy than industrial art or just messin' around in the kitchen.  

Unless you can find a foolproof recipe that you can find a fool to test, leave this type of chemistry to the guys at Dupont and 3M before you blow up the neighborhood or fold it into another dimension..
