2. Give your balloons maximum float time in 5 easy steps:
2.1 Stretch - Using an air inflator inflate and then deflate the balloons, this is done to open the pores of the balloon for maximum float time.
2.2 Insert - Place stretched, un-inflated balloon neck over spout of pump ensuring that you pump the product into the belly of the balloon. Make sure you pump in the required amount and avoid getting the liquid in the neck of the balloon.
2.3 Spread - Rub the solution around inside the balloon to give an even coating.
2.4 Inflate - Slightly over inflate the balloon and hand tie.
2.5 Dry - Allow to dry for up to 3 hours before transporting (This is very useful to avoid splatter)

Instructions: 1 . Place a drop sheet in the work area to prevent stained surfaces and slippery floors. 2. Balloon Gloss can be paired with Balloon Oomf treated balloons. The Balloon Oomf must first be allowed to dry up to 5 hours before applying Balloon Gloss, to not reduce float times. 3. Spray a fine mist all over the surface of the balloons, but not so much that it starts to drip. 4. Although it is not necessary to spread the Balloon Gloss, it can be spread by rubbing the balloon, if desired. 5. Balloon Gloss treated balloons will have a slight oily feeling to the touch. 500ml Balloon Gloss covers up to 420 - 11" balloons, depending on the amount applied per balloon. Although it is non-toxic, for added safety, it is recommended to wear glasses or safety goggles when applying Balloon Gloss to avoid eye contact. If Balloon Gloss contacts the eye, flush with water several times. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Do not drink and keep out of reach of children.
I was once working on a balloon job where we had to make some balloon archers and table décor for quite a large function. While sweating and working hard to move around heavy balloon arch bases and helium bottles a passerby leaned in and whispered in my ear, “Work Smarter “my Lanie”, Not Harder”. He then continued on his way with a heavy box and trolley making his job quite simple. This was quite a game changer, I had always thought the harder I work the more successful I would be. I then came to the conclusion that hard work is great, but smarter hard work is even better!
