Not suitable for your purpose, but possibly useful for others. That's a
wiener balloon --a variety from 2" to 6' in circumference and lengths to
750' (depends on thickness and width on the roll; 2 => 6 mill) Wow!
17% of a mile balloon!!
Well probably not practical. Back in ca. 1965, I made one about four
yd.. long. We filled with methane (Jr. College w/o He.). worked
well. One of the students worked in a dry cleaners, and supplied it.
