| Hi-Float is a professional product for use by professional balloon decorators - if you are unsure of its use in any way, visit the manufacturer's website for instructions, training videos*, various uses for the product and decorating ideas. The product is an aqueous solution containing a water soluble plastic. It is non-flammable, non-corrosive, non-irritating and biodegradable. Please note that the references to 'Save helium - use Hi-Float' do not generally apply to the UK, where balloon gas is already a mixture of pure helium and air. The claim applies to the use of pure helium (very expensive!) alone. * Large files, take a while to download. |

When using the 1 US Quart size bottle, cut the dip tube to 1.75" long. (For a 96oz bottle cut to 5.5"; for 24oz bottle, do not use tube; for 1 US gallon (3.8litre) bottle, do not cut the tube)

| Slide the balloon onto the pump outlet to as far as it will go in order to inject the HI-FLOAT deep inside the balloon as shown in Figure 2. The end of the pump nozzle should be in the bulb of the balloon. Depress the pump plunger as far as it will go. Remove the balloon from the pump. Pinch the neck of the balloon as you remove it to clean off the nozzle and keep HI-FLOAT out of the stem of the balloon. |

|
| Make sure the pump returns to the full upright position after each stroke. If necessary, lift up on the cap before treating the next balloon. Gently rub the balloon a couple of times as shown in Figure 3 to spread the liquid over the inside surface. While rubbing, hold the balloon opening elevated to allow air to escape and to prevent liquid from entering the stem of the balloon. |
|
|
| Inflate the balloon in the usual manner and hand tie. We recommend rotating your helium nozzle downwards as shown in Figure 4 to reduce 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 on to the hands when tying. |

|
When the balloon is first inflated it should float up straight but it will not be very buoyant 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.
