INSTRUCTIONS
Place pump on the bottle and prime it by pumping it a few times until liquid comes out. Snap the correct restriction clip onto the pump as shown in Figure 1. Clips are color colded as follows:
Slide the balloon on to the pump outlet as far as it will go
in order to inject the HI-FLOAT deep inside the balloon
as shown in FI|igure 2. Depress the pump plunger as far
as it will go. Remove the balloon from the pump. Wipe
the pump nozzle with the balloon as you remove it in order
to keep the nozzle dry.
Place the balloon on a flat surface while holding the opening
upwards to prevent dripping. Gently rub the balloon a couple
of times as shown in Figure 3 to spread the liquid over the
inside surface. Mash down any lumps of liquid to make the
coating as uniform as possible. Make sure the entire inside
surface of the balloon is wetted except for the stem which
Inflate the balloon in the usual manner and hand tie. We
recommend rotating your helium downwards as shown
in Figure 4 to reuduce splatter and help keep the liquid
out of the balloon stem. A key to minimizing mess
when using HI-FLOAT is to keep it out of the balloon
stem where it can leak onto the hands when tying.
When the ballon is first inflated it should float up straight but it not be very bouyant until the HI-FLOAT dries which takes a couple of hours. After drying the balloon will have nearly as much upward pull as an untreated balloon. If the balloon does not float, or leans to one side when first inflated, check to make sure you are using the correct restriction clip. You are likely either putting too much HI-Float or not enough helium. If the clip is correct, make sure the balloon is fully inflated. The balloon should be inflated until it begins to become pear shaped.
With a little practice you should be able to treat balloons neatly and quickly.
Ultra HI-FLOAT increases the average float time of your latex balloons by 25 times.
An 11-inch latex balloon treated with Ultra HI-FLOAT will float 1-4 weeks when the directions are followed. If your float times are too short, see our TIPS FOR MAXIMUM FLOAT TIME.
