Helium gas

Kataratarina

Does anyone know anywhere I could buy a cannister for blowing up balloons. I've heard clinton cards etc sell them but dont reckon they will be that big- i have about 20/30 balloons to do.

Thanks in advance

They are approx 34.99 and the canister will do approx 30 balloons. A size gguide is included as if you blow them up too big you obv wont be able to blow up as many.
Just make sure you only blow them up just before you need them, they will only stay afloat for 8-10 hours maybe less depending on temperature of room so cant be blown up night before.

Obv this is for latex balloons, they are supplied in the cannister box.

TBH it is approx 50 pounds to hire a small cannister and this will blow up well over 100 balloons(wont get blloons with this though) so if you wanted any more this may be cheaer for you.

PLEASE, PLEASE, remember DO NOT be tempted to suck in the helium, it is so dangerous and can kill you. (I know you never mentioned it but I always tell people as most dont realise how dangerous it is)

Yeah i seen that someone died recently doing that. Where can i buy the cannisters? Can i buy normal balloons from a shop and use the helium or are the latex special ones?Clinton cards for both the 34quid and 50quid ones?

Thanks for the help.

Latex balloons come in helium quality and non helium quality. Just watch if buting some with number etc on them as when floating the number will be upside down if not helium quality.
Non helium quality will also not last as long when blown up. Helium quality ones are slighly more expensive but not too much. Just get from clintons or birthdays or a party shop.

Birthdays diffently hire out canisters, not too sure about clintons but both sell the ready to go box sets. Just back sure if you get a box set one it will need to be disposed of correctly, not just in the bin.
