Gas Bags come pre-folded for ease of handling. They are held together by tape or rubber bands. Do not remove these because they allow the Gas Bag to inflate properly.
Attach a cord to the tag at the top so that the Bag can be lowered to the correct depth in the hole.
In the case of the vinegar Gas Bag, squeeze the colored liquid container and pop it. This releases the vinegar onto the sodium bicarbonate. Make sure all the vinegar has drained onto the bicarb pouch then lower in the hole. You have about 40 seconds to get the Bag in place before inflation starts. When the Bag is tight in the hole, remove the cord with a sharp tug.
The aerosol version works by locking down the activator cap on top of the can. Push hard enough to make sure the valve tab is locked down. This releases a colored liquid for about 40 seconds of delay time before inflation starts. Again, give the cord a sharp tug to retrieve it once the Bag is tight in the hole.
