Aqua Balloons Review: With Mike Hurst from Reds - BMTV 175

[@BalloonArtworks]

Great review by Mike of an excellent product - we love the Aqua balloons. Glad the photos of some of our water-filled and flower-filled designs came in useful. Transporting the water-filled Aquas can be a bit tricky so we've put a little video on our channel showing the best method we've come up with. It would be great to know if anyone else has come up with a better method. Hope you're enjoying the footie, Mike.

[@BalloonMarket]

Thanks for the images Melanie we loved them! Great idea on transporting the Aquas as well, if anyone wants to see that video check out the link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5bSo6htZrJgjZI

[@BalloonArtworks]

Glad you liked them. Take care :)

[@petakucas7389]

Your show is running on my house pretty much the whole time I'm at home..You always pick up info no mater what . I'm so grateful you make these wonderful reviews and How to shows. xx

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Peta, that's great you find the videos so useful!

[@chloesmum1884]

You guys are brilliant, wish I had a fraction of your talent. I'm doing a baby shower next weekend and attempting my poppy troll the following weekend for a birthday party. If the troll is a sucess, I'll send pics, because I will feel SO accomplished after so many failed attempts of attaching all those 260's (of hair in pony tail) mid way around the round balloon. I think making anchor points around the head with beads and attaching a band of 260s all the way around to actually tie each strand of hair (260s) works best.Wish me luck lol thanks for sharing, I LOVE and ADMIRE your work!!

[@BalloonMarket]

Good luck Chloe’s Mum!! Yes attachment points around the balloon seems like the best idea, and definitely send us some pictures!

[@karlabell6493]

ive got an aqua i did at a work shop over three months ago still up... it was air filled but is still round and beautiful

[@JakiJade]

thank you once again for your videos. Happy Birthday Mike

[@MikeHurst81]

Thank you

[@rosswilkes5541]

Hey Greg this is Ross from Party Box in wolverhampton. I watch the videos religiously and then i order things! So ordered 20 of the small aqua bubble to play around with. Im finding that when i cut and heat seal then they are popping very easily i dont believe i am over inflating them. I an also struggling to make the knot at top to attach more things to them. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Ross, are they bursting where you’ve heat-sealed them? Maybe have a play around with the settings on your heat sealer, it might be the case that it’s not hot enough. That’s the only thing I can think off, hope this helps! Glad you like BMTV!

[@MikeHurst81]

As BM's reply, I would imagine it isn't hot enough when you're sealing.

[@rosswilkes5541]

Thank you Greg and Mike i will put it on the highest and see what happens lol

[@s9712126able]

Thank you for your showing. Fist time, I try to put flower bouquet and baby clothes in it, have some problem that getting deflated. I lost 3 balloons. when I saw your video, I see how the problem in it!! I should follow your step to do this will be successful.

[@theballoonroom1842]

Well done Mike. Great video x

[@theballoondr]

Hi Greg !! I would put some natural flowers into an aqua... But I nor sure about how to make knot or seal with 260 Q or 160 Q. The idea is to do some balloons for the 15 birthday party of my coleg 's daughter. We have enough time anyway. Great video !! Many thanks and see you next week !!

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Leonardo, flowers would look great! You could always heat seal the Aqua balloons if you’re struggling to tie the necks… I know I struggle!

[@theballoondr]

Balloon Market Ok Greg ! So you suggest to do is cut of the upper side, put the flower info the aqua, heat sealing the seam and then inflate and tie the neck with a knot ? Many thanks for your feedback as allways Greg !! Have a great week!!

[@BalloonMarket]

This is what the instructions tell you to do, although we haven't tried this yet. I think try different ways and see what works best for you!

[@soof25epa]

Leonardo De Marco did you manage to place flower in your aqua. I’m trying to find someone who can tell me how to put the water in the aqua with flowers? I’m not sure if you have attempted that? Would really like a little help

[@aliceshambamuto3100]

Hi guys. Loved the video and very informative. Could you do a video showing us different ways to stuff the aqua balloons. Great work guys. Love you Balloon market.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Alice, glad you liked the show! We'll probably do a follow-up show at some point, depending on how popular the Aqua Balloons become. People always find new and creative ways of using products so I'm sure there's a lot more to be done with the Aquas!

[@MikeHurst81]

Today everyone also learned that Balloon Market make delicious cakes!

[@BalloonMarket]

Haha, thanks Mike!

[@kpenny]

Thank you for the review. Very informative. I thought the float time would be comparative to a bubble so that's the most disappointing. They are really beautiful though. How would you inflate a foil in it...push through the neck still?

[@BalloonMarket]

Yes, I think they float for less time because they are made of a thinner material, but this is where you get the clarity so there is a trade-off. I would say put the foil in the neck like you normally would with a Deco, it’s worth giving this a test though. Maybe we’ll do a follow-up show!

[@leeannasalazar9214]

Such helpful demonstrations! Thank you for sharing. Are the Aqua balloons available for wholesale in the U.S.?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi LeeAnna Salazar, I think they might be available in the US. I did a quick Google search and managed to find some but it does depends where you are! Glad you liked the show!

[@giacablayan1202]

what is the white connector that the pole os screwed into called plz

[@ballonim]

Hey there, thanks for the nice Video. Which Tong it is?

[@BalloonMarket]

Glad you liked the show, what tong do you mean? The tool Mike used to heat seal?

[@ballonim]

The Tool Mike use to open the small Aqua Balloon?

[@BalloonMarket]

They are called castration pliers, if you do a search online you'll be able to find them.

Estoy super estresada! No entendí casi nada 😅 podrían poner traducción por favor 😊

[@cheriecreations573]

I am grateful for the information, but i am really here for the accents

[@sylviaamado6777]

I know this video was uploaded some time ago, but I just watched it and found it to be sooo helpful. I do have a question, however. Instead of adding hi-float to the balloon in order to make the confetti stick to it, can you rub the balloon to create static and make the confetti stick to the balloon like that? And I apologize if anyone already asked this question. I didn't read all the comments. Thank you in advance and good job in what you do! :)

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Sylvia! So glad you have found it helpful :) I know that people do use static successfully in order to create this effect!

[@haminpark5779]

Is it possible to put small chocolate bars or candys in aqua balloon only using stretcher?

[@BalloonMarket]

I would be a little worried about the sharp foil edges of the bars but I would say give it a go because it may work out really well :)

[@kirbinbautista8041]

hello, where can i buy the aqua balloons? i need the info please, is there some Link or Email?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Kirbin, you can get the Aqua balloons here: www.balloonmarket.co.uk/latex/aqua-balloons/aqua-balloons

[@kirbinbautista8041]

Balloon Market thank you so much

[@louisianateeshirts]

Mike, will you please give information on balloon sizer...Thanks

[@MikeHurst81]

This may require a separate video. Watch this space.

[@giacablayan3539]

please share a tutorial how to make the sizer

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Gia, I feel like Mike might have something in the works!

[@giacablayan3539]

thank you . . . i'll be looking our for it.

[@CesareVesdani]

Can these aqua balloons pop?

[@BalloonMarket]

Yes if the balloon comes into contact with something sharp it will pop.

[@lilmisswildthin]

I was wondering can I put a number balloon inside of these aqua balloon and if so where can I buy balloons to put a number 2 inside in the USA (New York)

[@BalloonMarket]

I would think it is possible to add a 16" number foil balloon inside the bigger aqua balloons. I would contact your local Northstar distributor in the US :)

[@lilmisswildthin]

Balloon Market can you do a video on it my daughter birthday is in March so I don’t want to buy it and it don’t work thanks

[@BalloonMarket]

@@lilmisswildthin I can add it to the suggestions box but I may not sure if we will have time before March. I think it may be a decoration you will need to practise and see how it turns out :)

[@lilmisswildthin]

Balloon Market thanks I will try and find the aqua balloons in the USA

[@zaram4067]

Where can I find the stretcher?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Zara! We sell this, it can be found here - www.balloonmarket.co.uk/accessories/decorating-accessories/equipment/balloon-neck-stretching-tool-1

[@zaram4067]

@@BalloonMarket thank you for answering me. Question, are the prings longer than the regular castration clips? One more thing, I couldn't find anything on delivery to the US on the delivery tab under the product description.

[@BalloonMarket]

@@zaram4067 thanks for getting back to us. No, I'm afraid they are the same length. Oh apologies, we do not ship to the US currently - you may find a castration tool on Amazon :)

[@farihaghaffar1865]

are we allowed to apply vinyl stickers on these balloons ?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Fariha, it's not something we have tried unfortunately, but I'm sure it's possible. It might jsut be worth doing a test run to see how long it lasts for

[@zainabsuliman6989]

What is the difference between aqua and deco bubble?

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Zainab - these are both stretchy plastic balloons but made by 2 different companies and have two different feels. Aqua is soft and the bubbles durable. It may be worth ordering a couple of each and having a play :).

[@adangmukti5588]

What different with PVC balon?

[@01aots]

Wow. It´s great.

[@MultiFresd]

Tem no Brasil? Obrigado

[@BalloonMarket]

I am afraid not - we are based in the UK. The Aqua balloons are made in Japan :).

[@MultiFresd]

Obrigado

[@Volunteerballoons]

14 x 11" balloons = 7CF of helium... nice to see how clear they are compared to latex. Knocked up? Here in US that means you got a girl pregnant! Too funny!

[@BalloonMarket]

Haha! Here it means you've improvised something!

[@JakiJade]

Volunteer Balloon Decor you ate funny. It's the same in Jamaica you caught it quick

[@prettiassasin2197]

can we air fill aqua balloons?

[@BalloonMarket]

Yes you can!

[@prettiassasin2197]

Balloon Market thank so much. I need 33 of 18 inches. Im not a wholesaler i actually run a balloon decoratine compay. When i checked on BalloonConnexion.com they wanted info to acquire wholesale priveleges. My question is how can i obtain 33 of 18inch aqua balloons. I live in the US.

[@BalloonMarket]

I'm not sure how to get hold of the balloons in the US unfortunately. They should be available at various wholesalers, but I don’t know specifically where. Sorry about that!

[@prettiassasin2197]

Balloon Market thank you.

[@ninisince64]

Can you wear gloves to prevent finger prints

[@auraballoon]

They are called BOBO balloons not aqua balloons.

[@BalloonMarket]

T B thanks for your comment. These are called Aqua balloons. Bobo balloons are similar in that they are clear plastic, but a very different balloon.
