New Balloon Preparation Method

New Balloon Preparation Method (No Full Stretch Required)

If you find it difficult to fully stretch the balloon neck by hand, don’t worry.
Some users may not have enough grip strength to perform the full stretch technique comfortably.

This alternative method reduces strain on your hands while still preparing the balloon safely for mounting.

You can achieve strong, reliable results — even without full stretching.

1. Twist the Body:​
Prepare the body of the balloon using a controlled twisting motion
 
– Left and Right: Grip the balloon firmly at the middle of the left and right sides of the body.
– Motion: As one hand moves up, the other moves down.
– Position: One hand moving down comes slightly toward your body, while the other hand moving up moves slightly away.
– Tension: Guide your hands slightly apart during the motion.
 
Important: Perform 10–15 rotations, then repeat in the opposite direction. Keep a firm grip and consistent motion. 
2. Twist the Neck:
After the body, twist the neck of the balloon:
 
– Hold the top corners: Grip the left and right sides of the neck firmly. 
– Twist: Rotate in one direction using a steady motion. 
– Reverse: Repeat in the opposite direction. 
 
Important: Perform about 10 turns each direction to properly loosen the neck. 
3. Trim the Top of the Neck:

If your bobo balloons have been tearing at the seam, this step can make all the difference:

 – Open the neck by separating the sides with your fingers.

 – Using scissors, make a clean half-inch cut straight across the top of the balloon neck.

Important: While not required, this step will completely eliminate any chance of tearing at the seam during mounting. Guaranteed.

4. Pre-fold the Neck before expanding it with Expander Tool:

 – Open the neck by carefully separating the sides.

 – Fold approximately one inch of the top of the neck outward.

Important: This folding step reinforces the neck, making it more durable and ensuring it fits securely onto the machine’s mounting port.
