Well we have added the final part of our "Gunge and Slime Test" and now you
get the chance to vote for your favourite gunging.

GREEN SLIME.
Recipe 1: Green gelatine and lime juice.
Twillin, "Stop eating my slime"! For this recipe we mixed the melted lime gelatine with bottled
lime juice. It looked quite interesting as it was setting. When we arrived at the secret testing
site we warmed the mixture over hot water so that it was partially liquid again. It was quite
thin and runny with some wobbly lumps and it was absolutely fun pouring it over my volunteer
Twillin. We really needed a lot, lot more of this gooey mixture to get that good slimed effect.
I think the photograph says it all. Twillin said "It Smells nice and Tastes good." Now when I
tried washing the T-shirt the strangest thing happend! As soon as the T-shirt went into the
detergent, the slight yellow coloured stain turned bright red and this proved very difficult to
wash out. I think this recipe needs a bit of research.

ORANGE LUMPY GUNGE.
Recipe 2: Baked beans and Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce.
We mixed two tins of spaghetti and two tins of baked beans together in a bowl and then simply
added one twillin, This messy mixture actually looked the best, the colour and texture were
perfect for the photographs and was clearly the easiest to wash out, I just rinsed the T-shirt
in cold water which removed most marks. Twillin said "It Smells ok and would probably taste much
better if it wasn't cold" I think this recipe is looking like a winner for the test.

BLACK GUNGE.
Recipe 3: Black Poster Paint.
This item was the most problematic, we had to choose a paint which would be "twillin friendly".
We chose children's poster paint as it would probably be least toxic, we also took precautions
to stop the paint going into my volunteers eyes. We decided to use just black, but after the test
we thought it would have looked better if we had used a lot of different colours. Washing was not
a problem either! We just bined the T-shirt after the test, This type of paint
did not really smell at all, but it was definitely NOT edible. The cleaning up for this recipe
was the most difficult so I think this recipe is for advanced users only...

RED SLIME.
Recipe 4: Strawberry Jam and Stawberry Syrup.
Twillin, "Are you eating my slime again"! We started by mixed two large jars of stawberry jam
with two bottles of strawberry flavoured desert syrup to form a very thick red liquid, it poured
much better than the previous green slime and stuck like glue! to give a good photographic
look. Twillin said that it the best tasting one so far. After washing the T-shirt there was still
a faint red stain. I think this was a good recipe which photographed realy well.

YELLOW GUNGE.
Recipe 5: Ready made custard.
We have used custard before as a fun gunge, so this time we bought enough of the cheapest brand
of ready made custard to half fill a bucket, we added a small amount of yellow food colouring
since the cheap custard was very pale and would not show up in the photographs on such a bright
day. The consistency of this recipe was very much like the black paint, but since there were no
health risks with this mixture I just poured the whole lot over my volunteers head... I was
supprised by how good it actually looked in the photographs. Unfortunatly the custard turned the
whole T-shirt a sort of yellow colour.

BLUE .
Recipe 6: Blue porridge.
We decided to make our blue porridge very thick, so we started by slowly added water to the oats
until the mixture was just pourable, we then added a whole bottle of blue coluring but the
poridge was looking rather too green so I added a very small amount of black food colouring,
which made it look a bit more like the blue we wanted. I sort of poured the lumps over twillin
and took the photo's very quickly. My volunteer Twillin said "Yuk! I hate cold poridge", I
rinsed the T-shirt in cold water and it looks like the blue colouring has washed out
|
Both Twillin and me enjoyed doing these two sessions and I'm sure that we
will be doing some sort of follow up session. Our conclusions were that the Baked beans and
Spaghetti was easiest to wash out, the strawberry jam and syrup tasted the best, so we now need
you to tell us which one you think looked the best "So please vote"
