Large holes can usually be found visually or by slowly moving your moistened palm and forearm back and forth over the balloon surface to feel the escaping helium or air. The most effective way to locate a very small hole is to shine a light (headlights, spotlight etc.) on one side of the balloon as you look over the opposite side for any pinpoints of light shining through. Work in a darkened area during this inspection, and mark the point(s) of light with tape or a grease pencil so it can be patched. DO NOT USE MAGIC MARKERS AS THE INK CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE BLIMP BAG. Another method for finding small leaks is to wipe a soapy cloth over the balloon's surface and look for small bubbles formed by the escaping air. Again, mark your hole and be certain to let the balloon dry thoroughly before deflation.Read More
