FAQs
Can I use an electric air pump to inflate this balloon?
Yes, but ensure it is a low-pressure pump. High-pressure compressors can easily pop the balloon if used at full power.
Does this balloon come with string for hanging?
No, string is not included. You will need to provide your own ribbon, fishing line, or twine.
Is this balloon reusable?
Yes, if handled carefully, you can insert a straw into the valve to gently release the air and store the balloon flat for future use.
Can I inflate this with my mouth?
Yes, you can use a straw to inflate the balloon by mouth by inserting it into the valve and blowing gently.
What is the best way to display the letter?
You can either string it using the built-in holes or attach it to a wall surface using non-damaging adhesive strips.
Troubleshooting
Balloon losing air shortly after inflation
Ensure the self-sealing valve is fully pressed shut; you may need to gently pinch the valve seal to ensure a tight lock.
Balloon does not float with helium
Check that the balloon is fully inflated. Small 14-inch balloons have limited lift capacity and may not float if they are under-inflated or if the ribbon used to hang them is too heavy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Gold Letter R, locate the self-sealing valve at the base of the balloon. Carefully insert a straw or the nozzle of your pump into the valve and inflate until firm, taking care not to over-inflate as this may cause the seams to burst. Once inflated, pull the ribbon through the integrated holes to string your display. To care for your balloon, keep it away from sharp objects and extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the trapped air to expand and potentially rupture the foil material.
