    So many of your have asked me to try out Elmer's Squishy Maker and this was impossible to get because they don't ship overseas. Luckily, a friend brought me a box from the USA so I was able to make this video! This is a pretty unique product which lets you make all kinds of squishies. It's a lot more generous with the squishy resin than many other kits so you can use these with your own molds. The chemistry works very well and you can customise it using glue, paint, pigments, ink, glitter etc. The fact that it's not affected by water means you have a lot of room for experimentation.

    EDIT: There have been some good points raised in the comments regarding my comment about the characters not being appealing enough to girls. To clarify, that was in support of gender inclusion and more of a critique at the performative gender-neutrality of a product that loses sight of who the actual target market is. This kit really went into extremes to avoid using pink or anything that might be deemed too girly so it doesn't alienate boys or the parents of boys. That in itself feels fairly outdated. There are plenty of gender-neutral character designs that include pastel or cute elements (Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Octonauts etc).
    Designs can exist as "girly" without meaning to exclude anyone who is non-binary. An example would be boys who love unicorns or makeup. They are not going to look for the blue/black/masculine unicorns but simply the typical rainbow, glitter unicorns that are already out there on the market. These types of craft kits are always predominantly for a female identifying audience so it doesn't make sense why they tried so hard to lean the other way.
    I think the gender-neutral packaging for Elmer's slime kits are fantastic but this is a far more complex product. These kits basically combine a novelty DIY process with mystery blind boxes, a "collect them all" concept, plus tons of characters with unique names and origins. It has too many nuances to just apply the same branding that works for slime.

    Aren’t they legally required to to tell you the ingredients in these things? What if you have a allergy or something

    • @sticki_
      @sticki_ Рік тому +281

      I'm far from an expert, but from what I gather, ingredients are only required on food, and strong chemicals like insecticides, herbicides, and cleaners. There are lots of things that say "latex free" on them since latex allergies are very common, but that's as much info as I've ever found on craft kits like this. It's really strange to me because there could be *anything* in these! 🥴

    • @maqaroon
      @maqaroon  Рік тому +374

      I also assumed they need to write the ingredients (eg for poison control) but surprisingly it's almost never included. Especially since they make money by selling a "magic" product or refills, most companies are reluctant to write what it is since you can probably get the same thing much cheaper elsewhere.

    Gonna be honest they have more expression than those simple seals and bears that people love so much and that you also made. The fox looks grumpy or mischievous, the hippo looked happy and like he was waving, the narwhal also looked happy. I have a cat squish from a brand and it has the cutest face, but the ones you made in your video as the base, which are also the popular ones and the ones everyone always makes in videos, they have no expression and are just blobs till you paint on them. These are actually part of the mould by the looks of it.
    I dunno how you can say they have no expression and don't look like they can appeal to girls or boys, but the ones you made and use as an example are easy sellers because they're simple, when you say you aren't happy with the lack of expression on the elmers ones.
    Do you want expressions on the characters or do you want simple shape blobs? I really can't tell what your expectations of this are.

  • @bibbleb00
    @bibbleb00 Рік тому +27

    I'd wager to say the reason the puni gel started to harden so fast was something to do with how the mixture oxidizes/acts when exposed to air, seeing as it tells you to mix it inside of the packet (airtight) which is most likely to give you more time with the liquid and prevent that 'milky' air bubble thing from happening if you mix it in open air. RIP to your fingers though, sucks that its not easier to mix that way lol 😭

      I'm slightly interested to see what happens if you *don't* add any glue at all. The fact that you're supposed to use exactly one tube of glitter glue made me wonder if the glue was an integral part of the formula, and if it sets differently without it.
