260 Q's what FUN!  We do A LOT of them in our business.  People just love 
them. 
It is best to use a nitrogen tank with some POWER behind it. An air inflater 
just doesn't have enough pressure to blow up the 260 quickly.  And a hand 
pump you can do it, but it is much easier with a nitrogen tank.  I only do 
the hand pump method when I'm in a pinch, and need only a couple curly Q's. 
 You 1st blow up the 260 Q, deflate it, then wrap around your fingers 2 or 3 
times, stick it on the nitrogen tank and start blowin it up.  You can also 
wrap around a cylinder, I prefer my fingers.  It takes some practice, but 
once you start doing it,  it will be a piece of cake.  You have to kind of 
guide the 260 Q as it is re inflating around you cylinder or fingers. Once 
your clients see them, you'll be doing a lot of them. People are fascinated 
by the way the balloon is curled.  We attach the 260 Q's to our  pearl arches 
which gives a whole new look to a pearl arch.  Good luck, don't get 
discouraged, you'll be a pro before you know it.
