Hello List,

I am looking for an alternative for latex balloons. We have probably all 
used them, whether it is shrinking them in liquid Nitrogen, putting 
skewers through them, or being amazed when they don’t pop from a flame 
with just a little water inside.

Recently, there has been a request for us to be able to do a latex free 
program. Thus many of these demos will not be able to be done.

I am looking for alternatives to latex. Mylar may work for some things, 
but not everything.
I have also heard that there may be some sort of plastic balloon that 
can be used.

Has anyone run into this issue before?

What solutions have you found?
