Nice necks

[Nopops4me]

If you love them why have you written 'you're bored' on the balloon? Perhaps you love them because they are strong enough to blow them to the point you struggle to tie them off. Where do you get them from? Any you don't want you can send my way.

🤣I may have decided that one needed to go, but have plenty more and am definitely not bored of the brand (Sempertex 12" pastel soap crystal). I ordered them from Balloonace.com. £10 for a bag of 50, which is well worth the price. They can be tricky to neck. That one had a lot of pre inflation and stretching (and probably a bit of good old fashioned luck) to get it like that.

Oh, so you're not bored with the remaining 49 Sempertex 12" balloons. Shame, that means none coming my then . I'll have to take a look at Balloon Ace myself. Does the tenner for 50 include postage? Yeah, I'll have to take a look and see.

[BlowPlayPop]

No doesn't include postage unfortunately! You're looking at £14 with postage. They're good balloons for 28p each though - and balloonace always give you a free balloon or 2 (I'm not on commission, honestly🤣)

So here we have a necked Balloon Ace 4th anniversary balloon, stuffed with air filled water bombs. Next to it is a water bomb overinflated with air. You have to say, in proportion your gonna struggle to get a better neck to body ratio than that!🤣

And some marble balloons with incredible necks...

I love marble balloons (especially with fantastic necks!)

I managed to get a pretty decent neck on this qualatex chrome silver 12" balloon

I think the neck part of the balloon is made for tying off the balloon. But of course any latex that's not been stretched is a waste. How do you guys get these magnificent necks. Do you just blow from start to finish and hope the balloon doesn't burst first or do you part inflate then coax/squash the air in ?

I stretch my balloon quite a lot before inflating it then blow up my balloon about 1/2 way, then I hug the body and the balloon while simultaneously stretching out the neck to force the air into the neck, after that I put 2 breaths into the balloon and keep squeezing air into the neck until the balloon its pretty tight and the air stays inside of the neck, I hope this helps

Sure does help, EnglishLooner. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

First experience with Sempertex. 18" and 12" 😈

Nice! I think sempertex may be rapidly becoming my new favourite loons.
