* Please remember that these are estimates based on typical indoor conditions and following all of the HI-FLOAT ® instructions. Float time will be less if outdoors. Float time varies greatly due to factors such as latex quality, humidity, temperature, altitude, etc. Balloons typically last half as long in hot, humid weather. For maximum float time, hand-tie balloons. Float time estimates for ULTRA HI-FLOAT ® + SUPER HI-FLOAT ® are from the manufacturer. cf cubic feet
