Does anyone know what they use when they color the metallic balloons? More specifically silver. I get this stuff all over my fingers when working with them. Just wondering.

Do you have luck twisting the metallic balloons? When I tried 'em years ago they were horrible to work with.

They are a bit tighter but for the most part not a problem. This will be the one and only bag just for the residue it leaves on my hands.

My friend JD swears they are better to twist outdoors.
Personally I haven't found a use for metalics short of christmas time and I use silver and gold as accents. From Balloon HQ .com http://www.balloonhq.com/faq/making.html "Pearl Tones. Pearl tone latex is created by adding crushed mica to the latex. This process can make the latex more brittle, and less twistable. If you want to see proof of this, you have to look no further than at Tilly Pearl 130's. Gold/Silver/Metallic 260's Metallic latex is made in the same way as pearl latex."
