    Re: Heat stretching methods

    I store my lilos and inflatable toys in the loft....when it's hot it heats up the vinyl evenly and makes it lovely and soft allowing grotesque inflating ! But be aware to much air will pop a seam! I popped a lilo and a love doll only last week because of overzealous inflation....I was most upset as I hadn't even cum!

        Sofar I only popped cheap stuff by accident during stretching. Intex tubes etc... More quality inflatables hold up very well

        For example:


        The pvc of this chair is rather thick and strong but still quite soft, especially in the sun. I heat stretched it with boiling water, popped a baffle and sun stretched it when I was on holiday. I am impressed with the results, and it's still soft and bouncy.

          My latest activity: heat stretching by using the sun...

          My parents were out of town so I had the whole house and a sunny garden all for myself. It was 26*C/79*F outside, but because it was getting late (18:00/6pm) the sun wasn't as strong as it was at 13:00/1pm sadly. But I gave it a chance, over inflated the tube and threw it in the sun

          The grey pvc reached a high temperature in seconds and I could see the tube stretching and deforming within 5 minutes. I could see the letters from Jobe and Crusher being eaten away in the 2 "gaps". Too bad I didn't made a timelaps video...



          The feeling of the hot, soft and squeaky pvc was awesome... it was very bouncy

          Soon I might go swimming with a friend and I will take the tube with me. Hopefully it stretches far more...
