Hello everyone!
I'm new to this site...as started off as a facepainter.

However, branching out to balloon modelling and am coming to the balloon party next week. I had planned to practice this weekend but the balloon pump I have just bought seems to be broken...does anyone know if I can do anything to fix it??! It won't even pump up one balloon and just keeps getting stuck!

I bought it online so don't want to have to send it back and get a replacement as I am sure it won't be here by next week...thanks in advance...and hope to see some of you on Tuesday!

Hi Zoe,

If the pump comes apart the normal problem is a black washer.
This somehow get's through a solid piece of plastic & ends up on the wrong side.
Now that sounds as clear as mud, shall we just put it in the raffle prize next week
Perhaps everyone could bring there broken pumps along as well

Oh & welcome to the forum, see you next week.

What sort of balloon pump is it?

Not really sure but its one of the ones that pumps air out both ways!!!
Thanks for the replies...it seems to be working if I use it with lots of force...but if not we can raffle it!
Looking forward to Tues...how many cakes shall I bring?!!!

There will be loads you can use on Tuesday Zoe! Bring it along see if we can fix it for ya.
