when you guys have had enough shoving up, and squirting in we use hi float loads, when used correctly it make latex balloons last upto 25 times longer, it should come with a little guide to help dose it properly, put it in, rub it around, and hey presto, stays up forever, (doesn't work on men though )
one word of warning, don't put treated balloons into bags! i have found this out to my cost!!!

am glad you've told me that - I've got an order with 50 balloons on Saturday and was going to hi-float them as the reception's not 'til 7pm and I close at 1pm. I'd have bagged them to transport them.

I have been using HiFloat for years - when used properly it is brilliant. The thing to watch is that you don't put too much in - it weighs down the balloon so it doesn't float properly. We have also had to get a regulator repaired because the hi float has worked it's way in. You do need to charge for it though, particularly when doing a large number of balloons, it will nearly double the time it takes to inflate them. We use it with every balloon so it's already incorporated in our price.
