Im not thinking of putting in very very high pressure air.
I was thinking maybe a few hundred PSI of gas would still help
strengthen the structure a bit.
Although the added strength is minimal, that's still better than
nothing.
It could add to resistance against bending/flexing.
I'm not planning to use air.... considering nitrogen or CO2.
