can you use these markers on an inflated latex balloon?

The water-based paint won't harm the balloon and should last...as long as there's no risk of it getting wet. Keep in mind the pens work best when facing down...which could be a challenge if the balloon is filled with helium :-) I wouldn't use the extra-fine tip because it's pretty pointy and might poke through, but a fine tip or medium tip would work as long as you get the paint flowing pretty well BEFORE you start so you won't need to use too much pressure. Also I would have a slightly moist paper towel ready just in case you make a mistake so you can quickly "erase" it. Good luck and post a picture if you can so we can see how it worked out!

It should work fine, but keep in mind that it's not a permanent marker and is water-based.

i dont think so. i tried to use these on a vinyl record and it didn't try well and smeared.

I'm not positive but I don't see why not. They are sturdy latex as long as not blown overly huge and the opening seems wide enough that you could drop one in.

I painted the balloon with latex paint to use as a prop for a Dr. Seuss "Oh! The places you'll go" theme decoration. Was a little nervous but no problem what so ever. We suspended the inflated balloon from the hall ceiling with fishing line.

I don't see why you couldn't use them to draw as they do not spread or run once they are applied; I use them to mark on fabric so can only theorize on the results on paper.

Yes, you can certainly draw on these. They are pretty much like regular paper, so pens or sharpies will work just fine.

Probably not. Most biodegradable balloons I've seen are made from latex, but I've done some research and it looks like "biodegradable" balloons still take a long time to decompose and can still damage the environment if not picked up. I would recommend finding some standard mylar balloons and just picking them up when you're done. That way you'll get your latex free solution and still have a better impact on the environment than those just leaving latex balloons around.

Yes you can absolutely draw on these with marker. They are just sheets of paper with sticker adhesive on the back

They probably would work but I wouldn't recommend it. These markers do their best work on glass, metal, plastic and on paper.

Yes You can Use a marker, like a sharpie or something with smooth tip just soft enough not to scratch the surface.

I use them on paper and I think they're considered permanent markers so I don't think they would work well as dry erase as might not come off.

Assume it would work with a marker but why would you want to???? . They cost more than the standard CD/DVD'S. I have use the printable CD's to print on for years and they work fine for me. You can use markers on most any CD/DVD's.

The box states latex balloons. Might try the website of the product to confirm.

I don't see why not. We used Sharpie markers with cardboard inside so it wouldn't bleed through. Paint would also bleed through.

Mr. Guzowski, these markers were a part of a Christmas gift to my three young grandsons and their use has not been evaluated for use on the light designer. Sorry I am not able to answer your question to your satisfaction.

The tying portion would work regardless of what you fill the balloon with, but the filling portion is only for water. I think you can buy the tying portion as a separate item - search for "tie-not". Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Tie-Not-Water-Balloon-Tying-Tool/dp/B004S2HYNW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402014283&sr=8-3&keywords=tie-not

This will not work on Mylar balloons! The opening on a Mylar balloon is not stretchy or flexible like latex and you won't get the seal you need! As previously pointed out it is just air not helium as well. Usually you can get the Mylar balloon filled from wherever you purchased it for no additional charge...

Yes, they are the right size for the airbrush kit. However, when we tried it just foamed up at the tip instead of spraying. I can only assume that the freshly made markers have a little too much ink in them. We will probably try again, using about 10 "drops" of ink to make the marker instead of the instructed 15.
