Flower Clown's new balloon pump and make-up short cut

[tonytwistuk]

That would be awesome i got to make one

[tonytwistuk]

Can I get diagram please of the balloon unit

[FlowerClown]

@tonytwistuk I just winged it and I don't have any of it down on paper. I could make a more detailed video with photos of all the parts.

That's awesome! I assume the PVC acts as a surge tank. Where did you pick up the nozzle?

[FlowerClown]

@slossrat The tank is on the air compressor and the hose runs right up to the tip of the tower. I am using a helium tank nozzle that I rigged up to fit.

[slossrat]

@FlowerClown Ok, thanks for the info. Also, where did you get the make-up stencil you are using in the video? That would save me a ton of time.

[FlowerClown]

@slossrat This is what I did. I was thinking of a stencil for some time now. Millie had a little kiddy pool that popped so I cut a piece out that would fit around my mouth and made a notch for my nose. Then on a day after doing a few parties when my make-up looked good and was also soft I pressed the rubber to my face making a print of the white, I then just cut it out and it is saving me 5 mins every time I do my face.

[slossrat]

@FlowerClown Very creative! I'll have to look into doing something similar for my face. Thanks again Flower!

Very interesting. Why did you need to blow up 250 balloons?

[FlowerClown]

@warrenann I was teaching a balloon class at a local summer camp.

[magic1926]

Cool Vid. Is this mostly for your balloon class or are you going to use this for all of your gigs?

[FlowerClown]

@magic1926 It is for gig where I am doing 2-3-4-5-6 hours of balloon twisting. It is also nice to have it when I need to pre-inflate balloons as well.

[FlowerClown]

@magic1926 there for the class, something which I have very little of.

How does it handle the 160's?

Can it curl 160's?

Would you be able to equip it with a car battery to make it more portable?

[FlowerClown]

@HappyCabbie

Hi Cabbie, I have blown up 160's but I haven't tried to curl them. I'll give it a try next time I have the pump out. If you can find a compressor that would work off of a 12v battery I guess it could work. Not sure if they make them and how much that would cost or if it would work well.

[FlowerClown]

cost under $250

[FlowerClown]

@FlowerClown I'm not selling them
