What are the float times when using Hi-Float?

Modified on Fri, 29 Jul 2022 at 01:25 AM

To achieve optimal maximum float times, balloons should be hand-tied and kept indoors where the climate can be controlled.


Float times vary depending on many factors including, temperature, latex quality, humidity, altitude, etc. Balloons will float for a shorter period of time outdoors, as hot and humid weather will affect float times.
