I had a six-footer from Edmund Scientific. Was that it? Glue sticks

They had a catalog filled with cool ****

Pretty sure the printed version still is available, even...

Jeez, all those toys....

No hot-air tissue balloons like the ones they used to sell, though.
And the prices are pretty steep.

When I was a teen I made 'em out of those plastic bags the dry cleaners
send your suits home in ... but I always had a problem with getting enough
heat . I was using candles , and that just wasn't enough .


Start with a hair dryer or heat gun, until the bag is inflated. Then
apply your flame.

That's how I did it.
