I 
 usually end up popping at least 3 before I get one the way I want it.  Ive 
 tried holding them at the base of the neck, and stretching them before 
 inflating.   Am I doing something wrong?  Help!! Its pretty frustrating.  
 Thank you, and everyone have a wonderful holiday!!!

Hi Jo,
Memories, memories.  The same thing happened to me the first time I used the 
6" size geo blossoms.  What are you using to inflate the blossoms?  I found 
that if I use a hand pump and place all of the neck on the nozzle, rather 
than  just the beginning of the neck, the balloons filled evenly and did not 
pop.  In other words, you direct the air directly into the balloon, bypassing 
the neck totally.  You probably could use a Duplicator 2, if you set the psi 
really low so that the balloon inflates slowly.
Hope this helps.
