Hi Everyone,
Do we all still use Borax?
The MSDS (Material safety data sheet) contains a strong warning "May damage fertility" or "cause harm to the unborn child" ??
I have teachers who wish to use it this time of year for "fun pracs".
I am concerned.
But do we all use it or not?
Thanks.

Yep, we still use it, although not recently.

We use it all the time for making slime.

Our students only use it now once we have made the solution, we don't give them the solid form.
