✓ NEW! -> HOW TO USE GLUE STRIPS FOR MYLAR

✓ Keep balloons clear of high static areas (like carpet) and don't put balloon sculptures in grass - dry grass especially is a huge problem for latex!

✓ Use caution when tying and tightening the balloon knot – if you pull the knot super tight, you could tear the balloon which results in leaks.
