Balloon decor has become a popular trend for parties, events, and even home decorations. The ability to create beautiful balloon displays and designs can transform any space and create a festive atmosphere. However, one of the challenges that balloon decorators face is finding the right adhesive to secure balloons together without damaging them. That’s where UGlu comes in. Whether you are a beginner in the industry or a seasoned professional, UGlu is your partner in success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGlu is the Better Balloon Tape! It is a type of tape that while it has a huge variety of uses, is incredible when used for adhering balloons to other balloons, both latex and foils alike. This unique tape creates a strong bond between balloons, allowing you to easily create intricate designs and displays without worrying about them falling apart. UGlu is a product made by Pro Tapes\u00ae<\/sup>, a trusted manufacturer known for its high-quality adhesive products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGlu comes in various shapes and sizes, which include dashes, strips, and rolls, making it easy to find the right variation for your specific balloon decor needs. The adhesive is strong and durable, ensuring that your balloon creations stay intact for hours on end. Whether you’re creating a balloon arch, centerpiece, or bouquet, UGlu is the perfect tool to help you bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things about UGlu Dashes<\/a> is that they are versatile and easy to use. Simply peel off the backing and press the tape onto the balloons to secure them together. The adhesive is clear and residue-free, so you won’t have to worry about it leaving any marks or ruining the look of your balloons. Plus, Dashes are easy to remove, making it a convenient option for quick setup and cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"UGlu<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using UGlu on latex Balloons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using UGlu products on latex balloons is very simple. Start by removing the white liner to reveal the adhesive underneath.\u202fPlace a dash,\u202fstrip,\u202for piece of UGlu wherever you want your balloons to connect.\u202fMake sure you choose the spot carefully!\u202fIf you accidentally stick the balloons together in the wrong place,\u202fdon’t worry!\u202fYou can try gently twisting the balloons apart to detach them without them popping. But guess what, if it does pop, replace your balloon and reattach \u2014 it is that simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"UGlu<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using UGlu on Foil Balloons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several factors to consider when using UGlu on foil balloons. For instance, UGlu has a stronger bond when adhering silver foil balloons to another silver foil balloon. This means, that the adhesive capabilities can vary on different color foils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using a gold or otherwise printed or colored foil balloon, we recommend adding a layer of Pro\u00ae JLAR II<\/a> clear tape to the balloon surface prior to applying UGlu. Paint or ink treatments on gold and other color foil balloons create an oily surface that can prevent UGlu from forming its typical strong bond. Using the base layer of JLAR II\u202fhelps UGlu adhere properly and ensures that your foil balloon designs are intact upon delivery and even days after you have created it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGlu can be removed from surfaces like wooden walls, plastic banners, and props. However, it isn’t advertised to be removable from balloons due to the risk of popping. With the possibility of popping in mind, sometimes twisting two balloons joined with UGlu will help release them. To remove UGlu from other surfaces, like walls, simply grab onto a corner of the dash and slowly stretch pulling parallel to the surface – not away from it. The stretching motion will release the UGlu, unlike other adhesive products which you would typically pull to release. Sometimes, using another dash or strip to get a better grip on the piece attached to the surface makes it easier to stretch and get the removal process started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effects of Temperature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that in our experience, working with balloon decor in New Jersey, where we get really cold winters, UGlu works best under room temperatures. When exposed to cold temperatures, the adhesive properties of UGlu can become rigid, decreasing its adhesive power. Similarly, in temperatures of 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above, they may become too tacky, causing the adhesive to be less effective. It is recommended to store and use UGlu in controlled and normal room temperatures for optimum performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
