How Can I Keep My Balls Firm?

[Card Magnet]

I've got a couple of footballs that I'd like to put in display cases now that I have the extra room in my house, and wanted to know if there's a way to help with the deflation.

Is there a way to keep them firm without having to pump them with air when they deflate naturally?

Nitrogen doesn't seep like air - I know they use that for tires.

Lol, your question is hilarious! Sorry, back to keeping your balls firm.....Nitrogen is the way to go.

Ahh, nitrogen...never thought of that. Now my next question - where can I find nitrogen to pump into them?

I thought the way I said the question might catch some eyes and get some more views, lol.

Thanks for the response. Just one problem - there's no Costco within 50 miles, lol. I'll do some Googling and see if I can find somebody around here.

What should he have said then
"How do I firm up my Balls"

 

[IndyManning18]

Or, "How do I keep my balls from shrinking?"

If you were to have a fire in your home...couldn't that be potentially really dangerous to have a bunch of nitrogen filled footballs in your home?

Huh-huh, you said BALLS

I don't believe so. Although many fertilizers and bomb-making materials have nitrogen compounds in them, I don't think that nitrogen itself is any worse then regular air. Now if you were to fill your balls with hydrogen, that would be a different story.

Yes, hydrogen would be bad, lol.

Check with any new tire retail outlets.
I know around here I've seen offers of free Nitrogen with the purchase of a set of new tires.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

kentuckyderby - I've just got regular air in them because I couldn't find any nitrogen locally.

David T. - The only two I found said I could only use it for tires.

Nitrogen is a inert gas and nonflammable. I used to use it to pump up fire sprinkler systems.
