Thanks for the idea....

[@Mercedesayso]

That was good information!!! Those Mickey balloons are scary to inflate always seems like they will pop, I have popped a few. The trick with using the pump in the center is a great idea. It would be nice to see these done with a normal hand pump instead of helium. I struggle with the 6 Geo never seem to fill it to full capacity fear of popping.

Thanks Mercedesayso! The Mouse Head balloons are scary to inflate!
How are you inflating the 6 inch Geos?

[@Mercedesayso]

I use the Green Qualatex hand pump, the bottoms usually have more air so I tend to let air out to keep the shape, so I'm not getting a full 6 inch blossom, more like 4.5. Just my fear of over inflating and bursting a Geo.

[@BalloonMarket]

Are you using the technique where you restrict the bottom quadrants so the top ones inflate first?

[@Mercedesayso]

I haven't, but this video gave me some tips, that I will be using from now on!

[@stevarino1989]

I usually inflate the ears first, then the head. It's kind of tricky but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. You just have to hold it a particular way so only the ears inflate first, not the head. I have seen how the people at Disney World do it.

I like them. I have seen 6 inch geo blossoms but never 6 inch geo donuts do QualatexBalloons do them.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi San, The 16" Geo Donut balloons are made by Qualatex as well. You can find them on our website here: www.balloonmarket.co.uk/latex-balloons/entertainer-decor/geo-donut-blossom
I don't believe they do them in the 6" yet though.

[@bebediaper5458]

Great tip!!!!! could you show how to inflate the heart shaped ones. ? please.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Bebé
For the heart shaped balloons, you can use the same technique as with the Mouse Head balloons. Stretch out the top of the heart first and you should get a nice even inflation.
Hope this helps!

[@bebediaper5458]

I do stretch them but I keep having problem with them. They keep popping. Thank you

[@BalloonMarket]

OK, I'll get the official guideline from Mark!

[@bebediaper5458]

thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@aprilandnoah8812]

Stretch the lobes on the heart and push the centre of the heart down whilst inflating.

[@yuriyfazylov5506]

please show a die of a donut shaped latex balloon. i would like to know how they come off it, once a cast is made.

[@BalloonMarket]

Oh I'm sorry but we do not have this footage!

[@yuriyfazylov5506]

@@BalloonMarket ok. maybe in the future

[@Alex_FlagWars]

Disney cast member the Mickey balloon inflate the ears first

[@burtmacklin3215]

They shouldn’t have used helium with the shortage.

[@BalloonMarket]

Hi Tony! The problemsome time with helium has passed (for now), supply is very good at the moment - expensive, but good :)

[@dukedave7]

The mousehead inflation technique is not right: the ears should be inflated first, and that's why Mark's balloon has tiny ears and a big head!
