Hi,
Where can I buy blimp bag material online? And what exactly is it? I've heard Mylar or not really Mylar or a nylon version of Mylar. Looks like a fun hobby. but having trouble getting started.
Thanks a bunch,
Chuck

Hi,
I appreciate the suggestion. Those look cool, but I'm not lookig for pre-made blimps. I'm looking for the material to make my own.
Thanks,
Chuck

Long ago we would get a few dry cleaner bags tape off the top hole..crisscross 2 drinking straws..melt 6 or 8 holes in the straws with a nail and put birthday candles in the holes..after a few minutes there would be enough heat from the candles to lift the bag up...of course now that I think about it, it probably wasnt very smart...Rog
