Review on Transparent 5 oz LA Balloons Hi-FLoat Solution: Enhance Balloon Lifespan! by Ben Chase

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not work with My Balloon Time Helium Balloon

I used this product with a Balloon Time helium tank and after about 8 balloons I gave up on the product. The difficulty is using enough product to seal the inside of the balloon, but not so much that it adds too much weight to the balloon. I suspect my problem is that the hi-float measurement instructions probably assume 100% helium while the balloon time is 80%. Less helium means less weight capacity and this product adds weight to any balloon. If you watch Hi-Float videos online, you may find contradictions. In their 80% Helium video they say not to use the product with 9 inch balloons; However, in their balloon time helium video, they say to use it with 9 inch balloons. These two points seem to contradict each other. Given this controversy and the fact that using the product on 8 different types of balloons none of which floated led to the conclusion that it will not work with Balloon Time helium tanks. I believe the experience would have been successful with a 100% helium tank.
