King" <angie@thepartywizards.com>, <balloondeco@balloonhq.com> Subject: Re: [6" heart balloons popping] I would recommend trying the following: Inflate several 6" hearts with air until they are totally inflated, as near as possible to the burst point.or hold them for a a minute or two. Then release the air. Now try them inside the 16". Hopefully this will prestretch them so that when you put inside the 16" they will not burst. Be sure to helium fill slightly less than you had air inflated them. If this doesn't work. Try the geo donut method. I forget whether it is the regular geo or the blossom, but one of them turned inside out forms a heart when inflated, while the other forms a mickey mouse type head. Maybe they will tolerate the situation better.
