About Helium
Helium is a nonflammableable gas that is used to fill the advertising
blimps and spheres. It can be purchased at most industrial gas or
welding supply outlets. We recommend Air-gas companies as a good source
for helium. They have locations throughout the U.S. and will deliver
the
tanks to your location. To find a location near you, visit

When ordering, ask
for tank size 291 or 300- they are the same thing.

If you are
inflating a blimp in the morning and expect the temperature to rise
throughout the day, fill the blimp so it is a little soft and you can
push your hand into the body of the blimp 4-5 inches. By the hottest
part of the day, the blimp will become more hard. It is common for the
blimp to look soft in the mornings due to colder temperatures at night.
Please read the
instruction manual
before launching a
blimp.
