I like this bag. But do they have a bag where you can cover the outside pockets? I like the idea where the balloons can be seen, but when traveling on public transit......well I rather not have the balloons seen. until I arrive. Now a much smaller bag together with an apron would be very nice. Bag and matching apron combo. Here's the idea: I may decide to twist on the street for the day, but I don't need to take sooo much balloons. There's a place I may like to go for the day. It's a water front tourist spot with shops, restaurants, I'm not going into details. Anyway, a smaller bag simular to the larger bag, but with room to hold a filled up apron, maybe even folded so the balloons won't fall out in the bag. That way, when I arrive, I can just take out the apron, put it on, make my big display figure and begin twisting. Also a compartment to hold a lunch. And make sure the apron has a pocket to hold a 260 two way pump.The bag idea is very nice. I place every thing in a backpack which works out great for me. I have my apron already set up. I also take extra balloons. What I like is one big pocket where you can put all the balloons together stretched out. Then I take a plastic shopping bag with extra balloons in case I run out. I've never ran out. I bought a five pocket apron (two pockets on the bottom, three pockets on the top), I cut the two bottom pockets open to make one large pocket. In the top right pocket I keep my 260 pump when not in use. When I twist, I like to make the Road Runner for display. It attracts attention and tells everyone that I'm talented. I use six balloons and three colors. So before I leave home, I take out the six balloons, three colors and put them in the left upper pocket. That way when I arrive, i can just put on the apron, take out the six balloons, and make the Road Runner,. In the Spring I use: lime green, yellow, and rose pink. Summer: green , yellow ,orange. Fall: Mocha brown, Goldenrod, and Orange. Winter: Dark blue, White, and Clear. One color for the body and eyes, a second color for the neck and tail, and a third color for the feet and beak. Then for the eyes, I draw two ovals which I color in. I prefer twenty colors. They are: Red, Orange, Goldenrod, Yellow, Lime Green, Wintergreen, Green, Tropical Teal, Pale (lite) Blue, Dark Blue, Lillac (lite purple), Purple Violet, Magenta, Pink, Rose Pink, Gray, Mocha Brown, Black, White and Clear. And with these colors I can do a lot. If I need other colors, I can order them. And the same with finishes, I use the standard, it looks nice.
@@OohStencils Twist and Chi or just Twist/Chi are the openers on the Korn album Life is Peachy. Obviously, this is ChiTwist so it was one of the first things that came up when I was looking for Korn lol
Fantastic review, thank you so much for taking the time to put together an informative and thorough review and for sharing your "mods". A couple questions for you: 1. Have you had any trouble with it shutting down due to overheating on a long job outdoors in the summer? 2. I have an older pump and need a new compressor (that they don't make anymore), would you be kind enough to share the model number of the compressor and any numbers on it? My pump has a ice maker tubing fitting on the compressor and a piece of thin tubing (no need for a nozzle works with 160's and 260's) that works perfectly for me, it extends about 2" out of the hole in the bag and is easily replacable with whatever length you need. If you'd like to see it let me know.
