• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon contact lens solution (containing boric acid)

Instructions

1. Empty the glue into a large bowl. 
2. Fill the empty glue bottle about ⅓ full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well to combine the remaining glue with the water. Pour into bowl with glue and stir to combine.
