IF yes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what VH said,
(blow, pinch stem, tongue over hole, role in plug, Short version. )

No, it's a screw in plug, and it doesn't get air-tight until it's pretty much tightened all the way. I think it's impossible to get these things fully inflated.

Here's a pic of one off THT. The cap is that slotted screw looking thing....

If it is holding its shape, then it doesn't matter how much air you put in. You could inflate it to bursting and it will still have the same buoyancy because it is the water displaced, not the pressure inside that determines how well it floats. Think of a SCUBA tank--full or empty, it still needs the same weight to counter its buoyancy.

Anchor retrieval/mooring/fender balls...

How do you inflate them? I have one that needs to be filled up, but everytime I do, when I remove the inflater, too much air gets out while I'm trying to get the cap back on. Is there a trick?
