HI All: Just reading some back issues and noticed the
discussion on water weights.  
Here is a consideration to think of:  1. They Break!!!
I know, you just had to make a few extra cause someone
miscounted in the shop! We have had some nightmare
stories to tell about this topic, so this is what we
do if we absolutely have to use them.  
Stretch out 2 balloons (11 inch) then double bag them
( put one inside the other).  Go to the sink and fill
up the inside balloon no bigger than the size of an
orange.  Dry off neck and tie and let inside balloon
slip into the second balloon.  Take the neck of the
outside balloon and tie also.  What you have done is
given your water wieight a double skin and less likely
to  break even it that 10 year old decided to throw it
around! Sounds simple and it is worth taking the time
to do it! Clients don't like their balloon trees on
the ceiling!
