Yep, it does. The "gasbag material" has a thin middle layer of a gelatinous /
semi-liquid substance. When the "gasbag" is damaged, this material leaks
out and begins to harden in contact with oxygen. This is sufficient to "heal"
bullet holes or other very minor damage, but of course it is useless against
any serious damage.

Thank you for your suggestions !
