The directions said to use both packets of Squishy Baff for a small pool. I only used one. I started off with about an inch of water in the bottom of the pool then I sprinkled the Squishy Baff over it. We just kept adding water here and there until it was a consistency the kids were happy with.
They didn't want it too watery so that they could mold and shape it. At one point they were building "Goo Castles".
They played with this for HOURS. Yes plural, HOURS.
It was a really hot day and I'm not sure if there was some evaporating going on or what but from time to time we would just add a little more water and it would "revive" it. The deactivator worked well. I didn't leave it sitting for a very long time but most of the bath had liquified by the time I dumped it out. For a couple of days there was a little bit of gelatinous mud where I dumped the pool. It was not in an area of the yard that we frequent so it didn't pose any problems for us. When the kids were done I did sit in a chair with my feet in the pool. My skin felt a little dry where it had come into contact with the goo...my feet and hands. Once I washed them with soap and water they were fine. I rinsed the kids with the hose and they went swimming they had no complaints, rashes or anything of concern after coming into contact with it. All in all I'd say it was money well spent. The kids really enjoyed it. It was a nice distraction on a hot day. I still would never use it inside my house...I can see where it could be a messy nightmare! Perfect for outside!
