FAQs
How many balloons can one weight hold?
One 190g weight can typically secure a bouquet of 10-12 standard 11-inch latex balloons.
Is this weight suitable for outdoor use?
It is designed primarily for indoor use. It may not provide enough ballast to hold balloons steady in strong outdoor winds.
Can I paint the weight to match a different color?
While the surface can theoretically be painted, the manufacturer's matte nude finish is designed for neutrality. If you do paint it, use a light coat of spray paint to maintain the weight's balance.
What is the diameter of the weight?
The weight measures 14cm, providing a stable footprint for your arrangements.
Is the weight refillable?
No, the internal ballast is sealed within the unit and is not intended to be opened or adjusted.
Troubleshooting
Balloon bouquet is tipping over
The bouquet may be too large or heavy. Add a second weight to the cluster to distribute the pull force.
Ribbon slipping from the anchor
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure slipknot when attaching the ribbon to the weight's loop.
Surface scuff marks
Gently buff the area with a microfiber cloth; avoid heavy scrubbing which may damage the matte finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the weight is straightforward: simply loop your ribbon through the designated anchor point on the top of the weight. Ensure the knot is tight to prevent the ribbon from slipping. Regarding compatibility, this weight works with any standard nylon or satin ribbon used in balloon styling. To maintain the matte finish, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the matte coating. Store the weights in a cool, dry place to prevent potential moisture buildup in the casing.
