Q: Are the 260's the most commonly used ballons for making animals? It's been several years since I've twisted and I cannot remember.
A: 260's Balloons are the most commonly used twisting balloons, also called 'Pencil Balloons.' The size of the balloons is something that is up to the balloon artist. 160's are 1 inch in diameter and can be used to make any balloon sculpture smaller and cuter, 260's are 2 inches in diameter and the 350's are 3 inches in diameter.

Q: Do they still sell 80" powdered balloons for making sculptures? I clowned many years ago and thought those were the length we used. I recall some balloons being harder to twist because they were thicker...
A: Tilly Balloons used to make a 280 Balloon (2 inch diameter, 80 inch length), but it is no longer in production. Most twisters today use 260 Balloons (2 inch diameter, 80 inch length), and some use the thinner 160s or wider 350s. All these sizes of Balloons are available in a variety of color assortments.

Q: Can you tell me how many pumps it takes to fully inflate a 260 with the dual baffle jumbo hand pump (L1224)?
A: The Dual Baffle Hand Pump will fill a 260 balloon in 2-3 pumps. Note that this pump has a lot of resistance, and is best used braced against a chair or table for those with less upper body strength. We also have Balloon Floor Pumps which will inflate a 260 in just about 1 stroke, leaving a small tail.
