    This is going to be be fun (maybe not for my neighbours ).

    Any suggestions for what I should blow up? And then blow up some more... and more... and more... until oops, BANG.

    Awesome!!!!! I'm so jealous!!

    Even though i like 12" balloons the best you should get some of those big 24" balloons, i bet theyre fun blowing to pop! Or seeing if you can make a 12" balloon bigger by inflating with the pump or your own lungs

      I've done a few balloons, they burst smaller than when you blow them up by mouth - I assume because the colder air at higher pressure from the compressor doesn't allow the latex molecules as much time to expand, so they tear prematurely.

      I put an arm band on it (think you call them water wings in the states?), it got huge before it finally made a massive bang and tore to pieces

      I've got some Q24's somewhere, I'll give one a go over the weekend in between what I'm supposed to be using the compressor for (painting).

        Big red balloons. Need I say more, really?
        How's about some inflatables too? Not sure if that's your thing, though.
        Bigger is good, but burst is better!

          Have you ever tried the heat stretching with hot water for inflatables? That looks pretty fun, never know how big it'll get

            Yep, done it a few times with various things using boiling water. They make a good bang when they pop after being stretched.
