    Odd. I’ll check. I did set it as shareable for anyone that had the link. I’ll have to check again.

    Thanks for letting me know.

      Try again.

      Nothing too exciting. But just how I usually get rid of the old ones.

        What about using old balloons to build a dome of balloons ha. Not sure what you would use to make them stick together. I saw a dome of milk jugs is where I got the idea. Looks like an igloo.

          I just throw them out when I become unsure of them, or if I notice a defect that worries me. Makes me so mad when you have a multicolored pack and there's something wrong with one of the colors you wanted the most. I've already had some that have had tiny pin holes in them. I really don't understand how that happens but it's annoying.

            I just keep them until they pop while using them ��

              I really like old/oxidised ballons. But if they feel like they will pop in any moment I store them.
              And someday, if I will overcome myself to pop them, I will make a video of it.

                I will never pop my balloons on purpose.

                The oldest most oxidized balloons are the best for me, the soft feeling makes it so much better! Currently having a Cattex 32 inch longneck extremely soft and oxidized. but it can grow so much bigger and my wife is confident using that loon!
                Having some great play sessions on that soft balloon!

                  Old balloons that I have used -- that is, that I have previously inflated -- I will blow to bursting in a marathon day of "looner housekeeping". If they are really deteriorated and can't be inflated, I simply toss them out.

                  If they are ageing, but appear to still be viable for future use then I may carefully store them for the future, although it is more more likely that I will pack them up and send them to fellow looners who have a thing for old balloons and whom I know will enjoy them to the fullest.

                    Sit pop, even though I'm a bit phobic, or pin/knife pop. To chuck an old balloon away is still a bit of a waste, it may as well go out with a bang(hopefully not too loud)

                      Turned several popped GL1200's into a cat o nine tails flogger. Braiding (or platting) latex to cover the handle was tricky as its clingy to itself but we got there eventually using latex shiner to lubricate it me, the bloody floor- everything. That stuff gets bloody everywhere no matter how careful you are with it!

                        I never pop mine. If they are old and soft, but still hold air i kiss and lick them carefully, enjoying the soft skin as much as possible. If they eventually lose the air they are getting trashed as is without a pop!
