But I'm still very surprised. It really happened about half the time to me! I'm usually using Qualatex baloons (and sometimes Betallatex); maybe you're using some super-thick brand.<br /><br />I noticed in one of Michael Floyd's balloon youtube videos that he uses the Edding as well. I paid something like $7.50 for mine and I just lumped it in with a big balloon order from larocksmagic.com.Random balloon guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265722443758378318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280791227152744758.post-78653608455169765742016-03-17T13:38:56.687-07:002016-03-17T13:38:56.687-07:00Ooooh, interesting!!

Is in in the touch when you are putting your marker tip to the balloon? Are you shaking it too much or not enough. I'm not sure. Sounds like a new test is needed. There's one thing that I'd like to say about the Eddings. Sometimes it spreads out on the balloon kind of in streaks just when I place the marker on the balloon. So I get this paint splatter look that is not very useful. Is anyone else experiencing this phenomena?

Very frustrating. Is this because it's oil based? I know that oil based markers are discouraged for balloon use, and maybe this is why.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it looks like the markers you really liked are oil based. Does anyone have any suggestions for water based markers they like, or does anyone know a trick for using the oil based ones without popping the balloon?Random balloon guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265722443758378318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280791227152744758.post-82174515672419655992015-09-13T02:19:10.634-07:002015-09-13T02:19:10.634-07:00Thank you for the effort.

I've wanted to know all this but settled on the galaxy marker because at the time it was cheaper than what other twisters had recommended and you didn't have to pump. But then had issues with it (The tip fell off and then the cap stuck shut). So I didn't try any others , but wondered which one would work without buying them all. So thank you so much!!!jojo entertainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245317834295585302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280791227152744758.post-51656473121004747152014-10-07T21:33:10.117-07:002014-10-07T21:33:10.117-07:00This is awesome!!
