I am currently tearing my hair out with a model I hoped to post on here today however part of it requires a sidewall bubble on the lobes of a 6" heart. I can make the twists, however upon doing so, the latex gets holes in it and leaks air. I have tried to make 4 balloons this way and lost each one of them. what am I doing wrong? Over stretching and over twisting? I thought latex was capable of taking more than a few stretches and twists!

Try putting a small bubble inside the heart and grab hold of this when you do the sidewall, it may help?
