Hi Gang,

A while ago I asked for help in getting my balloon yo yo's to stop
leaking air.  I got several replies and I appreciate all the
responces.  Here is what I found out that I was doing wrong.  As I
was pushing the neck of the balloon down into the clip to secure it,
I was stretching the neck.  This made the neck of the balloon skinny
where the clip was securing it.  Since the the clip didn't have a
"thick" neck to pinch closed, the air leaked out sometimes.  Now I
don't stretch the neck of the balloon at all and the yo yo's don't
leak.  I hope this makes sense.
