Here is everything you need to know about the new taba squishy trend! Taba means "bundle" or "bunch" in japanese and is now used to describe these super soft squishies that come in in a "bundle" of fake packaging. You squish it through the plastic which is surprisingly satisfying. Tabas originated in China, where silicone factories have started producing a new polymer that is softer than Shore 00. This is sometimes confusingly referred to as "glue" on social media clips however it's due to a mistranslation. In Chinese, "jiao" (glue) can also be used to describe any thick, sticky liquid. It's essentially the Chinese term for "squishy gel". Tabas are always made from silicone and have nothing to do with glue.
Some tabas are so sticky that they have to be flocked. When buying flocking powder, try to avoid ones that are marketed as fake snow. These are usually quite coarse and won't give you the best velvety, fuzzy texture. Make sure you're wearing an N95/FF2 mask (or higher) when using flocking powder because the particles get everywhere and should not be inhaled. Some people work inside a closed box with two holes cut out for your hands.

The sophie and toffee squishy gels, from my experience, do tend to stick more to silicone and from what I saw even sophie and toffee adds a separation layer in their newest video for the silicone squishy box. The reason the paws worked is likely because the molds are rubber based and not silicone. Always love seeing you experimenting with these kinds of things.

Yay and good luck with your store! I feel that taba is going to become the next slime trend where the best products come from indie sellers. I somehow don't see any commercial companies making good taba squishies. Most are probably going to cut corners and try to sell giant mochis in plastic bags with cheap fillers inside.

since the word refers to a cluster of textures, the point seems to be to keep it in the package to squish them all. especially if they’re supposed to be super soft

Does the part A and part B of the silicone not have a different density? So measuring by weight leads to not having 1:1 ratio unless you did recalculate it? I'm just curious because I learned with silicone and resin you should measure by volume

@maqaroon 4 ай бұрын

That's interesting! I never thought about that and I've only seen people measure them by weight as well. The two liquids do look very similar though in terms of density. Part B is usually the hardener but bizarrely, in the Chinese videos, Part A seems to be the hardener.

@indigo8036 4 ай бұрын

I bought the older S&T squishy gel awhile back and I tried to use it for the first time recently and it didn't cure all the way. Extremely sticky/goopy on the mold side. I'm not sure if I mixed it less than I should've or if the pigment was bad, or if my ratio was just way off somehow. Have you had this happen? I'm gonna have to experiment 😭

@maqaroon 4 ай бұрын

I'm surprised to hear that! The gel usually cures without problems, however the ratio needs to be 50:50, with possibly more hardener (40:60 for A: B). Though I have heard that things like temperature and room humidity can interfere with silicone curing so maybe that played a role
