Dear all,

            I am now starting balloon decoration in a country in Asia. I 
have many problems to ask you for the valuable opinions:

            1. How can I inflate round balloon equally. I try to have a 
device to limit the diameter of the balloon but the balloon shapes are 
different, some are completely rounded, oval or (__>--- (this shpae). This 
make my arch not beautiful.
            2. In doing solumn, how can each balloon squad be closest to 
each other. My problem is that when I finish my balloon column, there is 
always some space during the squad and this causes the people be able to see 
the core PVC.
            3. How can 2 260 balloon connect? Is it only tie the end of the 
balloon together ( but this will make the knot appear outstandingly ). 
Whether they are connected by hot gun glue or ...???

             Any books or resources for the beginner of balloon decoration 
suggested would be more appreciated. ( Most of books in ballonhq.com focus 
on balloon twister, not for balloon decoration)

             Thanks for all of your kindness.

Best regards,
TC.
