Can I inflate this balloon with regular air?

How do I connect multiple balloons to make a word or banner?

How durable is the foil material?

Can I reuse this balloon?
Foil balloons can sometimes be deflated and reinflated, but this process can be tricky and may affect the balloon's ability to hold air effectively for subsequent uses.
Troubleshooting
Balloon not inflating
Ensure the inflation nozzle is fully inserted into the valve and that the valve is not obstructed. Check if the helium tank or air pump is functioning correctly.
Balloon losing air quickly
Check the inflation valve for a secure seal. Gently press around the valve area to ensure it's closed. Inspect the balloon for any small punctures or tears and patch if possible.
Difficulty threading string through holes
Use a thin, sturdy string or ribbon. A needle with a large eye can help guide the string through the pre-made holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, locate the inflation valve. Using a helium tank or an air pump, carefully insert the nozzle into the valve and inflate the balloon. Do not over-inflate. Once inflated, the valve will typically self-seal. To create a banner, use the provided holes to thread a string or ribbon through the balloon and connect it with other letter balloons.
