Is this your first time renting a helium tank for balloons? If so ask the staff in the balloon department at McCullochs about Hi Float. Hi Float is a sealant applied to the inside of balloons to contain the helium for a much longer period. Helium gas particles are so fine that they can leak through the walls of the balloon. A balloon without a sealant will only float a fraction of the time of one that uses Hi Float.
