Subject: Very small balloons
To: balloondeco@balloonhq.com

Hello all, Im wondering if you could assist me with a little problem.

Have been messing around with some balloon figures today (brides and grooms) 
and all has gone well except having major difficulty with the arms.  At the 
ends of the arms towards where the wrists would be I was sizing 5" (Belbal) 
down to 3" and 2" and wrapping in 4s onto a line.   When I came  back to have 
a look at the guys about six hours later, all of the smallest of the balloons 
had basically died and fallen off. So what am I doing wrong here?  Is it just 
a case of not being able to get balloons down to that small size?  

I was reading an old article in Images the other day where when making table 
top hearts, it was recommended that you size the balloons down to 2", so I 
didnt anticipate a problem.  I was wondering if there is some tying trick I 
dont know about.

Any suggestions and comments would be welcome
