When you mix one chemical with a second, different chemical, you create a chemical reaction producing a third chemical which does not look like either of the original chemicals that were combined to create it. In this instance, the glue (chemical 1) when mixed with the borax solution (chemical 2), creates a chemical reaction which results in Space Mud (chemical 3).
