    Definitely the neck end first, then gradually work your way back. That's your best bet!

      I've been told that you should start inflating the far end first and work your way towards the neck, at least for the GL500 and 700. Think it is to make sure the part near the neck doesn't overinflate and make the balloon pop prematurely. But to be honest I don't think it usually matters which end you begin with.

          I've only got one gl700 and I'm thinking of getting a couple of 1200s but I'm not entirely sure what to do with them since my 700 is hardly used

              Definitely try a couple, they're like GL700s except a lot larger and a lot more fun

                    Here is a thread I wrote with lots of online balloon shops - all of the ones on that list sell GL series balloons, so it's just a matter of comparing prices.

                        I'm totally stocked on GL-1200s. I bought 4 from loonerworld balloons & eight from Nordic looners. Assorted colors. Love,love,love the GL-1200. I've yet to pop one. I've put her through hell! If only you knew, hee,hee!

                          The GL balloons are pretty damn strong. They can easily stretch past rated size while still carrying a rider or two, and heat stretching them works wonders.

                              I still have a GL500 I purchased in October 2013. It's survived dozens of inflations (by mouth and pump), riding, and more. It's oxidized quite a bit and become much much softer, but it's still going strong!

                                Ive got a few different sizes but I've bought them that long ago I can't work out which it which.... The one I'm a sung at the moment is the diameter of a GL1200, but half the length... Would this be a GL500, an 700 or a GL800?
