what brand are those 524 balloons? can't find that size

[larrycmoss]

Those are Qualatex, but the size is no longer made. I use 646s instead these days.

how do you connect one wall to the other when they make a 90 degrre angle.

[larrycmoss]

Following this pattern, you'll end up with a jagged edge. Just have the jagged edges of your walls interleaved. To actually lock them together once they're resting in each other, slide another 260 through the pairs of balloons straight down the line. Don't worry abotu twisting that balloon to anything. It will go inside all pairs of balloons. For more support, a pole can go through that same space instead of balloons.

Thanks for your reply. Just wanted to tell you that after asking you about the size and brand, I found a company called "Superior Balloon Co." that makes 524. Don't know quality or else, I just found them in the web. This 524 size seem more of a practical size than 646 which sometmes are too long. Love your videos, thanks again.
