OUTDOOR BALLOON COLUMNS 

It's a slow process... I have clients who won't let me go, and footage that never came out ;-)

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! :~)

I'm glad that you found it useful :~)

I was thinking of you when I got the order ;-)

Thank you! :~)

Thanks! :~)

Yay!!! Glad it was useful :~)

Gracias :~)

I mostly use Qualatex balloons because that's what I can get locally. Betallic is also a very good brand though :~)

Sandi Masori Thank you..

lol! I wear the costume in studio, not on the job ;~)

yes, it does get warm, but not like in other places. It rarely breaks 100. For outdoors you always want to underinflate. I believe that the Tuf-Tex brand is known for doing well outside in weather though. But having said that, I rarely use them because my clients are often last minute and I have to get what I can locally . :~)

Awww thanks!! :~)

Thanks! :~)

Awwww thank you!!!

only 2 260s for each column to hold it together. These are Qualatex balloons, underinflated. :-)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :~)

I wondered this as well

Yes, 2 260s are more than enough. You will probably have 2/3 of one of them hanging off at the end :~)

Thanks! :~)

I'm glad you found them useful :~)

your welcome :~)

I might do one, but it wouldn't be in time for graduation this year. I'm mostly using columns with numbers on them.

:~)

I'll add it to the list, but I'm not sure when I'll be shooting in studio again :~)

Thanks! :~)

These are not double stuffed. I don't double stuff my balloons unless it's a really special reason, and then it doubles the time and the cost. In this video I'm using Qualatex Orange and Robin's Egg Blue balloons :~)

Thanks! :~)

Sure, here you go... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hQL5lJegmHc.html :~)

I think that both have their uses. It really depends on the style and the lines that make the most sense for the needs of the event. I will say that classic decor (all balloons same size) is faster and more profitable ;~)

Yes basically. You might want to tether the poles to the float instead of using the baseplates but test it to see what's most stable for a moving vehicle :~)

Come on over to Beginning Balloon Pros on Facebook where we talk about pricing ;~)

We always strike our own jobs (and charge for it). We don't want to leave a mess for the venue and want to make sure everything is properly disposed of :~)

They're not attached. I slid them between the balloons and the baseplate after the balloons were on the stand :~)

Thanks!

Those are Qualatex balloons. Just make sure to keep them good and squishy :~)

Did you ever find out? 😅

I'll add that the list of videos to make :~)

awww thanks!!!

I live in San Diego, so I can't say I know much about extreme weather, but best practices for heat is to avoid dark colors and make sure you severely underinflate the balloons :~)

@@SandiMasoriPresents how much did you charge them

Take the weights off of them, put your hand between the balloons to grab the pole, pick it up and carry it. It's not heavy but a little awkward. Then place the weights back on the base plates. This is exactly why I don't put the weights in the center of the column over the pole, because then they are too heavy to easily move :~)

@@SandiMasoriPresents Thanks for sharing.

If you bag them, you can do it several days in advance. Air-filled balloons will last a long time :~)

Thanks!! :-)

Look into David Mahoney's stuff. He's really the one who made that into a thing :-)

Sandi Masori Presents thank you Sandi

The prices go up and down but it shouldn't cost you more than $10 or so per frame. (probably less) :-)

In my experience, the only solution for keeping the balloon’s luster fresh is spraying it with a coat of hairspray. However, many folks are more overtly environmentally conscious these days and may take offense to such flagrant use of aerosols. I try to build my arches and columns as close to the event as possible when balloons are freshest, but elemental exposure- induced chromatic dulling is unavoidable. Often times, many observers didn’t see the balloons beforehand so a faded balloons aesthetic is not perceived as an automatically stark contrast. Of course, Sandy will likely jump in and correct me, and then i’ll learn something, haha.

Thank you so much for your response. I had not thought about using aerosol spray.

nope, you're spot on. I don't bother with trying to keep them shiny as it will just cause other problems, and as long as everything is equally oxidized, no one will notice anything different and just take it at face value :~)

Is your machine supposed to size the balloons or just count how many are inflated? The machine I use is the Conwin precision air machine :~)

@@SandiMasoriPresents No its the BOROSINO 680W B362P Timing Quantitative 2 Inflation Nozzle Electric Balloon Pump

The poles are 7', and the toppers are air-filled :~)

I generally use Qualatex as that's what I can get locally. Betallic and Tuf-tex are also good :~)

I mostly use Qualatex balloons :-)

You can, but it makes it a pain in the butt to move around ....

I'll add it to my list :~)

Thank you so much

I use mostly Qualatex. Unfortunately, there's not a great way to prevent oxidation when outside. There is a cream that you can put on it to keep it shiny for indoors (balloon glow), but I'm not sure how well it works outside.

I have this same question

These colors don't really show the oxidization as much as other colors do, but I don't stop them from oxidizing. As long as all the balloons oxidize at the same rate, no one will really notice. So I just explain to clients that over time the balloons will take on a velvety patina :~)

Thanks! :-)

This is Qualatex Robin's Egg Blue and Orange :~)

Sandi Masori thank you!

For the main part of the column? Yes, but then you would need a 1" nipple and flange :~)

11" balloons sized to about 8" :~)

Thanks :-)

hmmm I'll have to add that to my list :~)

Sandi Masori my sons party is on the 17th and I have yet to find a video how to do it

@@gabriellaanne5419 look for a video on the Brazilian EZ method, I think that's what you're looking for. The video might be in Portuguese, but you should be able to figure it out pretty easily :~)

either pop them or try to get them adopted :~)

no, they never have. Most people don't ever notice that - it's a foreground/ background issue I think. The eye sees where there is color and movement ;-)

hmmm... try your junk mail, or a different email. The automated system may be blocked by your email provider. If that doesn't work, send me an email :~)

Sandi Masori Will do!

Come join my beginning balloon pros facebook group and ask there. It's a better forum to discuss pricing :~)

I make them from materials available from Home Depot :~) A 2x2' piece of plywood, a flange, a threaded pipe, and a piece of emt. Look at my beginning balloon professional playlist for more framing techniques

Thank you!
