How to Make a Special Slime
In the DaveHax video below, we see the making of a gooey concoction that gets pulled towards a magnet. To make the magic sticky clay, he adds together Elmer’s Glue, water, Borax powder (or, you can substitute a laundry detergent or liquid starch that contains Borax), and iron filings.
If you'd like to make a ceramic sculpture using a magnetic clay mixture that will dry out, check out ceramic artist Jólan van der Wiel. He uses a mixture of slip (a combination of clay and water) and iron filings to create a material which he can manipulate using super magnets. His clay mixture is typically 90 percent clay to 10 percent metal.
