Help with inflatable

kickstart_3

Ahem i have got a 4' inflatable Dalek but sadly no way to inflate it! Its too big just to blow up , but a foot pump wont fit it either. It just has a normal blow up valve , like the sort you would get on a childs swim armbands? Any ideas what i can use or buy thats not too expensive to inflate it ? (No im not taking it the garage !:embarasse)

try a cheap bycycle pump although the flexi pipe from the pump will need tape around where it joins to the blow up valve to seal it ,same thing for a foot pump, a drinks straw can sometimes be used as a joining piece

You're not alone! We too have a huge, I guess it must be 4 or 5 foot inflatable dalek! I am not sure how it was blown up though...

Oh, apparently, the first time it was blown up it took 45 mins to blow it up by mouth but now we have an electric pump.

Yeh..I don't think Dad quite realised it would take that long!

We use one of these for blowing up our mattress when we are camping, but you do need to plug it into the cig lighter in the car and it' s noisy!
