I used this when filling some balloons using a home helium tank. I was very surprised how long the balloons lasted. When I've used the home helium tank in the past, they lasted less than a day. These balloon stayed floating for over 2 or 3 days. It was easy to use. I would buy it again if I was inflating more balloons.
Worked perfectly. The reviews don’t lie - using this with latex balloons - they lasted over a week. We ended up having to pop them ourselves they lasted so long. Very impressive. Didn’t add much more time to blow up the balloons. I used this for 50 - 11” balloons for a graduation party the night before and they didn’t lose any air for well over a week. You do need to use the right amount - too much with little air and it won’t rise. Directions called for 1/2 pump for 11”, but I got away with 1/4 pump and just spread it out well. It’s not just a pump and fill. You need to massage the balloon to spread it out before inflating for best results. Follow the directions. Will buy again!
LOVE THIS BAG! it is huge and I can carry my balloon garlands properly. It has holes so your balloons can get air flow. I highly recommend this bag.
I bought this to use for my daughter’s bridal shower, couldn’t find any business to fill latex balloons with helium because they don’t hold it good. So I looked for a solution and this was it!!!! It worked perfectly, two weeks later and I still have 5 balloons flying high. It is good to know in the future events we can do the balloons a day or two earlier. Follow instructions correctly. I did buy a helium quality balloon, who knew they made all this stuff. So happy we found it.
I recently tried the HI-SHINE Balloon Aerosol Spray for a balloon decoration event, and I am quite impressed with the results. The spray works exceptionally well in giving my balloons a bright, shiny finish that lasts for about three days. This duration was perfect for my needs, as the event only spanned a weekend.
One of the standout features of this product is the minimal smell. Unlike some other sprays I've used in the past, this one didn't leave a strong or unpleasant odor, which is a huge plus when you're working in a confined space or around guests.
However, I did notice that if you use too much of the spray, it can get oily quickly. It’s important to apply it in light, even coats to avoid this issue. Once I figured out the right amount to use, the results were fantastic.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to enhance the appearance of their balloon decorations. Just remember to go easy on the application for the best results!
This spray is the absolute best spray for your balloons. I have ordered it several times and will continue. I vouch for this over the others!
This worked great for adding shine back to my balloons. I made my ballon garland and stand the day before my event so the balloons became dull. A light spray of this and they were shiny again. It lasted all day.
Oh my gosh, I heard that this stuff does the job but could never imagine after 2 weeks that my balloons would still be floating!
I bought this product in hopes that when my sons graduation party came, I wouldnt have to be blowing up almost 200 balloons in a rush before the party. I added this product to a few balloons for testing. I first added the hi-float and kept the neck straight up as to not allow the product to get inside the neck as advised. I waited a couple of days and then proceeded to add the helium. Now keep in mind, I never did this before so I wasnt even sure about the helium..lol
Be sure to add well enough helium in your balloon. This will insure that the balloon stands up right and keeps them floating for an extremely long time using this product in an air conditioned or heated area.
I will never go without this product ever again!!
Just had a fabulous party for my son's graduation from University of California Santa Barbara. Knowing there would be zero time between the end of the morning ceremony at UCSB and the start of the lunch party at a hotel downtown, we had to inflate the balloons the evening before and fully decorate the venue. I must say, I was nervous that we'd arrive at the party to find sagging balloons . . . but jumped for joy when we arrived to find everything just as we'd left it nearly 16 hours earlier . . . including big, shiny, beautiful balloons still high in the air. We used 11" Qualatex balloons (dark blue, goldenrod & clear with grad hats printed on the outside) and pretty much one pump of Ultra Hi-Float in each balloon before inflating (like instructions called for). We rubbed the prepped balloon between our fingers to make sure the gel was evenly distributed then used 'Balloon Time' helium tanks to inflate. We hand-tied each with a simple knot. You might want to have a small towel nearby to wipe your fingers every so often as the gel can make for impossibly slippery tying if any gets on the outside of the balloon . . . which made for some very funny moments and lots of giggling during the process! We left the party and balloons behind just over 24 hours after the balloons had first been inflated and they were ALL still going strong.
