    Does anybody think that the glue wont hold the paper together that much?

    I think that the glue would hold. do you think that it could float with tape holding it together?

    even though tape might not be light enough glue might not keep the pieces together it might not be covered in on spot and then it will let air in that might not be the best idea

    congrats bruno reidy on ur diamond shaped balloon

    yeah I think that the glue would work better, you just have to be careful to be sure you dont put too much on or too little

    i tink u should stick with the tape because it is easyer and it will be less of a mess and besides it not that much heavyer and glue is a pain in the.....neck cause it gets ECERYWHERE!:{

    would glue harden easier because of the hot air warming it?
