if you haven't used balloon shine or your thinking of using it this may be of interest
using balloon shine (i got mine from playtime balloons) i treat a bunch of uninflated 260s the 4 balloons on the left have got b-shine on (they looked brill)
but when i inflated them & left them for a day the b-shine had no effect at all they oxidized exactly the same as 260s with no b-shine on
also when put in a loop in my busking bag they were imposable to pull out one at a time they didn't stick together it was more like they clung together
conclusion b - shine has no effect on uninflated balloons
i then put b-shine on a balloon that was a day old and had oxidised wow it brought it back to life it was brand new and it stayed that way
conclusion b - shine is brill for rescuing balloons
using it on a balloon i had just made had the same effect it looked brill and stayed that way for days
applying b - shine can be a bit messy as you have to apply it with a cotton glove (supplied) you spray the glove then wipe the balloon i found that by putting on a disposable latex glove first it saved all the mess also the b- shine goes a lot further i found by raping the cotton glove with the latex one and putting them into a plastic fridge bag it was ready to go the next time i wanted to use it
b - shine  is not really practical when working (lines or feat's etc) but it come into its own if you use it on balloons you what to photo for publicity or make up the night before
at some point i will try the back to black tire restorer & see how it compares to b- shine I'll  post how i get on with it

ive been experimenting the last two weeks with the balloon shine as I'm off to Cyprus soon
i was there last year it is so humid this time of year as soon as you make anything it starts to oxidize
& spoils the look of the balloons
i will post some photos & comments about its use this week
graham any particular brands for the back to black car spray or is it halfords own brand
Pam what make is the car shine spray mentioned

thank you all for the welcome i feel all at home now

Graham that's sad about Bryan Flora i still have his video ive had it that long that i feel like i knew him

hi I'm Dennis (AKA Dillinger AKA tricky Dicky) I'm from Newcastle on tyne (check it out on Google earth) in 1986 I became a member of the Newcastle Magic Circle dabbling in cards coins rope & sharpie pens  eee I was already on the road to twisting & didn't know it
at that time I was working in local bars & restaurants (close up magic) when I heard of a balloon twisting video I rushed straight home and saved up for 3 months sent off for it and got it by return post 12 weeks later it was Brian flora's (state of the art @ that time )the balloon video (1988) (can anybody else remember Brian) I learnt every thing on that video then forgot most of it & carried on twisting happily for the next 15 years (name any animal in the world that looks like a dog) how many times did I say that in 15 years
fast forward to 2003 & a visit from mike Decker (a top twister who share's thanks mike) as president of N.M.C. I looked after mike during his visit a night turned into a couple or three & by the time he left I was twisting motor bikes ducks (daffy that is)  & most every thing else
& so I got the bug and that's that no going back now lol :lol:
twisters  i like - stretch his work is brill & ken Stillman top twister and a fun guy &  pat Bunuel's hats are tops (sorry)
as I said at the beginning of this intro. i am a magician i would like to develop a magic balloon act any ideas with tricks routines or bits of business would be welcome
other things I enjoy are video & photo editing  guitar I'm out there in the pubs busking a couple of nights a week & a pint of course
I hope this intro is OK  (coz it's been a therapy for me )

is it worth risking work for the sake of 1 adult page with very little info on it (how many jobs would you expect it to get you)
& would it not be better to have a second site offering your adult balloons under a different pseudonym so as not to risk your other work
less is definitely better (G L) is the photo on the header distorted or meant to look like that

hi Henrietta
i lost my (new)160 that was next to my 260 pump all day i did ask around but had no luck finding it
however i did find an older 160 near were i lost mine i thought some one must have wanted a free upgrade
i decided to let things ride good Carma & all that so i think i might have your (much loved and sorely missed) 160
if you PM me your address i will post it to you (more good Carma) felling better already i have a back up so we will all live happily ever after lol  
ooh the mystery of the missing 160 takes another turn ha ha
