We want
to tell you some basic concepts.
The ideal
balloons to use are balloons No's 260 and 270.
In this
course we are going to use balloons 270.
However,
if there are other numbers or other types of balloons that you want
to use, then go ahead. However, make sure you always use the same
style.
You also
need to know that the colour of the balloon influences its manageability.
Black,
red and orange balloons have a harder texture. Whereas white, blue,
sky blue, pink and yellow have softer textures.
What is
a balloon pump?
Bear in
mind that inflating long balloons using just air from your lungs is
quite difficult (experts recomend that you can inflate a balloon from
16 years on because your lung capacity is greater from this age).
This is
why a balloon pump exists. It is very easy to use. Place the balloon
around the mouth of the pump, hold onto it so that it doesn't move
or fly off.
Using the
hand that you have free, pull the lever which is at the base of the
inflator. Continue the process so that the balloon starts filling
up with air.
Important:
before inflating the balloon you have to stretch it, so that the latex
is ready and there is less possibility of it bursting when you inflate
it.
