Distributor FAQs

When Balloon Glow Original entered the market in 2012 it was the first balloon polish for professional balloon decorators that didn’t
require buffing. After 10 years of sales, and hundreds of satisfied customers, we still consider Balloon Glow to be the best balloon
polish for the discriminating professional balloon decorator. To be considered professional-grade, Balloon Glow continues to meet
these important quality specifications: 1. Quick and easy to apply, requiring absolutely no buffing. 2. Provides an instant and
permanent protective shine. 3. Economical to use: low cost per ounce, and available in bulk quantities.

On the advice of customers and distributors wanting a no buff, consumer version of the product, a water-based formula was developed in 2020. Balloon Glow Pro delivers the same great results as its predecessor and is for users who are at least 12 years of age who decorate with latex balloons for birthday parties, and seasonal balloon decorating projects in the home. It can also be used on balloon bouquets and other displays with latex balloons.

Balloon Glow Pro has a green, water-based formula that becomes clear after it is sprayed on. Balloons reach their full shine and color intensity after about 20 minutes of application. Both polishes deliver a permanent, protective shine to latex balloons and require no buffing.

Yes. Balloon Glow Pro can be used for professional decorating projects and will yield the same great results as Balloon Glow.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that occurs when oxygen comes in contact with a substance. The results of oxidation can be seen on latex balloons when colors fade and fogging occurs.

Both create a permanent protective shine on your balloons.

1. Use a drop cloth to protect floor from surface spray when treating balloons, and removing them. 2. Important: Adjust spray applicator to the finest mist setting – product will not apply to balloons properly if this step is not followed. 3. Point applicator 12 inches from balloon and apply one even coat in an up and down continuous motion. Resist overspraying, if dripping occurs too much has been applied. No buffing is needed. For Balloon Glow Pro only: Balloons will reach their full shine and color intensity in about 20 minutes. Tip: To extend the life of the trigger sprayer, periodically remove sprayer from bottle and spray any remaining product back in bottle, then flush sprayer straw with running water and spray a few times.

Our products are developed to help professional balloon decorators save time, and money on decorating projects, not make them work harder. The silicone, and water-based polymers used in both give it a unique “self-coating” characteristic when applied to latex balloons, eliminating the need for labor intensive buffing.

All that is needed to add a permanent shine and prevent oxidation on your balloons is one evenly applied coat of either product.
Resist overspraying however, if dripping occurs too much has been applied.

Although balloons that have oxidized can be beautifully restored, we recommend treating balloons immediately after inflation.
Balloons that have oxidized tend to require more product to restore than balloons that have not oxidized.

The polymers used in both products, and similar polishes, make it resistant to oxidation, insensitive to temperature changes, and give it its unique “self-coating” characteristic when applied to latex balloons to eliminate the need for buffing.

It is normal to see spray droplets at first. The droplets will soon disappear as the spray self-coats the surface of the balloon.
Tip: To reduce the size of spray droplets, always adjust spray applicator to the finest mist setting

This indicates product has not been evenly applied, or that some of the balloons in your display haven’t been sprayed during the application process. To permanently shine and protect all your balloons, apply one even coat of product in an up and down continuous motion.

This will depend on balloon size and the application technique. A one gallon container of either product will typically shine and protect about 3000 11 inch balloons. A quart container will shine and protect about 750 11-inch balloons.

Yes, both can restore the shine and prevent future oxidation on balloons that have already oxidized.

Yes, both can be used successfully on balloons that will be displayed both indoors and outdoors.

Decreased float time is possible, although uncommon.

Yes. Neither will not cause imprinted artwork to smear on high-quality balloons.
