How much helium wilI use over a weekend?

Here the answer depends on temperature and wind. The higher the temperature, the less helium is required In fact, some customers will introduce (by means of a hair dryer or some similar type blower) some ambient air into the vinyl inflatable on hot days because as temperature rises the helium expands and creates greater lift.

n low wind the helium will last longer also as the helium molecules are not pushed through the vinyl wall. Winds over fifteen knots will sometimes require a "touch-up" the next day.
