[@celmoto4279]

Esta bello el trabajo,pero no entiendo inglés ,sería bueno saber k materiales usas y esa técnica k usas para los globos, gracias 🙏

[@hanadizaza3179]

can you please add the link where did you buy the stuff from

[@TheNanis34]

So cute. But think is better with the balloons shine 😉

[@janiiams]

Hi Sandra, balloon shine doesn't dry like the Ultra HI-FLOAT which does quite quickly but the shine treatment instead stays kind of wet and oily. You would have to be careful and let your customer know not to put a design where people touch it or get it on their clothes or carpet.

[@jasantlove]

So beautiful.. how long does it take for it to dry ???

[@janiiams]

OMG, I am so sorry to take so long to answer. I missed your question when you posted it and it was a good one to ask. You'll be surprised how quickly HI-FLOAT dries with this method. It dries in a matter of only a couple of minutes but it stays barely tacky if the treated balloons touch each other for perhaps 15-20minutes or so.

[@vanessasantaella1632]

Where do you get the balloon stands

[@Ennu1981]

You could do that instead of a double stuffing with clear balloons and adding glitter, can’t you ?

[@janiiams]

Yes! That would be beautiful too.

[@HilliriahJacobs-td5hg]

Wow

[@user-yy4ri3iv6f]

💯👍👏

[@janiiams]

Thanks!

[@michellebalder4590]

Is that star confetti hard pointy table scatter, or out of flimsy foil?

[@janiiams]

Good question! It was soft iridescent star shape confetti. You can use the same technique with many types of confetti but those made with stiff material and sharp edges are not a good choice on inflated balloons.

[@michellebalder4590]

@@janiiams Thanks Jan! Great design, it's got my creative juices flowing. Beautiful work!

[@janiiams]

@@michellebalder4590 Thanks Michelle!

[@savina4283]

Where can I purchase the acrylic stands? Both pieces.

[@krupalumagicshop8287]

what is the size of confity you used? for e. g. 2 mm. 4mm. like. ma'am you makes very good designs and very nice idea

[@janiiams]

Hi, I use a variety of confetti sizes depending on the arrangements I make. I'm glad you liked the design.

[@krupalumagicshop8287]

for this project what size of confity is used?

[@ella4804]

This is so very pretty! I’m going to try this today! Can you give the link to find the balloon blowers please?

[@ella4804]

I found the info you left in another comment.🥰 Thank you.

[@balloonentertainment1376]

How long does it take to dry? Is it safe to touch hi-float? My concern is that the balloons may pop with the hi-float while blowing them up or if people touch them and then gets it on their hands even after it is dried. Should this be a concern or no? I always think of the customer and what could happen from a safety standpoint. Beautiful though.

[@janiiams]

Sorry and sad that I missed your question until today 🙁HI-FLOAT is a very safe and completely benign product and dries very quickly in short time with the demonstrated outside dipping method. You'll be surprised how fast its no longer sticky and can be touched! It's a beautiful effect and I've used it for years and years without an issue.

[@janiiams]

The HI-FLOAT dries quite quickly, just a matter of minutes so you need to work fast. For 15 minutes or so, they feel dry but if they touch each other they stick together a little, as shown in the video. After that they are great!

[@marisolespinal9001]

❤🙏👍

[@krupalumagicshop8287]

instead of hi float what we can use?

[@janiiams]

HI-FLOAT is the best product for this to achieve the beautiful shine on the surface of the balloons. Other products can create a cloudy or looks streaky which is not pretty.

[@krupalumagicshop8287]

okay. thanks. hi float is a clear washable gule?

[@janiiams]

@@krupalumagicshop8287 HI-FLOAT is a special balloon product to make helium latex float longer. Not a glue but much, much better!

[@alexandradosanjos1226]

Que tipo de cola e essa que você mergulho a bola?

[@janiiams]

It is not a glue, it is a helium retention treatment to make helium balloons last for a long time rather than just one day without HI-FLOAT treatment inside the balloons. Check with your balloon wholesaler for Ultra HI-FLOAT! (Portugese translation) Não é uma cola, é um tratamento de retenção de hélio para fazer com que os balões de hélio durem por muito tempo em vez de apenas um dia sem tratamento HI-FLOAT dentro dos balões. Verifique com seu revendedor de balões para Ultra HI-FLOAT!

[@thaiscamargo5468]

Não é cola é o hi-float 😉 um produto feito para passar por dentro dos balões e aumentar a durabilidade do gás hélio, aí como ele tem textura de gel ela usou para colar o glitter!

[@paulooliveira4423]

Ela mergulhou em que?tipo de cola

[@sharongiles8725]

Wha the air machine called please

[@janiiams]

Both inflators are made by Premium Balloon Accessories. The big one I used to inflate the round latex with is the Twin-Air Sizer 2 Balloon Inflator which automatically sizes. The small one I inflated Reflex Silver 260s with is the Smart-Twist Inflator which has a rechargeable battery and is perfect especially for 60 series and 5”. Ask your wholesale distributor for pricing and availablility. Many Betallic distributors carry the whole Premium line.

[@janiiams]

Thanks for asking. It is the Twin Air Sizer by Premium Balloon Accessories. Ask your wholesale balloon distributor if they stock them. It's worth every penny for this quality auto-sizing inflator and you'll have it for years and years.

[@debracornwall8265]

What is the name of the inflator

[@janiiams]

Thanks for asking. It is the Twin Air Sizer by Premium Balloon Accessories. Ask your wholesale balloon distributor if they stock them. It's worth every penny for this quality auto-sizing inflator and you'll have it for years and years.

[@lorenatorres5850]

Please in spanish

[@joycerelativo3709]

Messy

[@janiiams]

With a little practice, you'd be surprised how little HI-FLOAT you get on your hands. And, best of all, it's a high perceived value look design for just pennies so a huge money-maker. When I demonstrate this in live design education classes, I have one damp paper towel handy and half the time don't need it. Practice! 😀
