How do I inflate my display form?
Locate the inflation valve on the form. Not that forms with heads have a separate valve for the head. Pull the valve out of the locked position so that it extends out of the form and remove the plug. The valve has a self closing lock valve (slit/opening) located inside and at the base of the valve. This lock valve needs to be "pinched" open for inflation to occur. The lock valve is usually located opposite the hing that attaches the plug.
To inflate by mouth, pinch the lower portion of the valve while blowing air in. Keep in mind that the torso forms hold a large amount of air and will take some time and effort to inflate by mouth. WARNING: Do not overfill. Fill until just firm. Too much air could cause the seams to fail and rupture.
To inflate by air pump, insert the small nozzle attachment into the valve and attempt to lodge the tip of the nozzle in the lock valve and the base of the valve. This will allow air to flow freely into the display form. In some cases it may be necessary to pinch the lock valve while holding the nozzle in place to allow air to flow freely into the display form. WARNING: Do not overfill. Fill until just firm. Too much air can cause the seams to fail and rupture.
WARNING: If using an air compressor or compressed air of any kind, fill the form slowly - Do not overfill. Fill until just firm. Too much air can cause the seams to fail and rupture.
