Slurries are a mix of a polymer and a non-hydrating liquid that are often used in making bubble juice. Many of the polymers used for bubble juice clump and resist mixing if added directly to water. The dishwashing liquid (detergent) used for making bubble juice can sometimes also be used for slurrying polymers. If you are using the detergent as a slurry, be sure to subtract the amount used for the slurry from the total amount used.
