Polymer Lab Group Investigation

Our experiment was very random.  We questioned whether adding an acid (vinegar) would change the characteristics of a polymer created from borax and glue.  This turned the polymer rough, rubbery, and slimy.  It also smelled of glue and vinegar.  A thin film developed on the surface as well, and if punctured, adding vinegar and glue repaired the incision.  It looked like cottage cheese, and felt like a beanbag after it was dried.  It had no rebound, as it was probably too heavy to gather enough momentum.
