A method of making a polymer article comprises the steps of making a polymer solution by mixing a first compound containing carbodiimide groups with a second compound containing carboxylated groups, applying the polymer solution to a former, wherein the step of applying occurs within 2 hours of the making of the polymer solution, and curing the polymer solution. The polymer solution can have a pH adjuster consisting of ammonium hydroxide.

A coated balloon with color and shimmering effects and process of making the same. A balloon may be placed on a mould apparatus. A balloon having a rubber ink solution applied to the surface by a dipping process allowing the entire surface of the latex balloon to be coated by the rubber ink solution. The balloon having specific amount of glitter rotationally applied to the entire surface. The latex balloon coated, treated and cured to allow for the ink and glitter to remain affixed to the entire balloon surface in a deflated and expanded state.
