01

Why the pipe objects

Slime is a sticky polymer and glitter is persistent plastic; together they can coat plumbing and escape into wastewater.

02

Do this instead

Let slime dry for the trash and capture glitter with tape or a damp paper towel.

03

Already did it?

Do not add solvent or chemical drain cleaner. Remove uncured material from the fixture without pushing it deeper, then contact a plumber or hazardous-waste program.
