Is it possible?
If you've got access to pressurized nitrogen...yes.
Boooooom 😀
no, but you can add volume spacers to make it ramp up more (assuming it's more you want), it's not the same as changeing damping, but it is cheeper.

This is what I want. There must be a shim adaption on google- will have a look ta.

You can get the spacers from Mojo and Loco, or you can make your own - i read that someone had made some out of an old cd case, i used a medium spacer (i'm 14st) for the rp23 on my Five to stop it bottoming at the correct sag for me (30%).
Perfik. Ta guys.
I read that you can use grease in the air chamber. Never have myself but I do add a good dollop when doing an air can service.
Surely some suspension oil in the air chamber would do?
The grease trick really does work! Find the thickest grease you've got (I use Fuchs Renolit) where you put the spacer as in the PB article, but it only lasts for a week or so until it eventually gets displaced then squeezed out past the main seal.
I've not gone any more scientific than my normal 'lets chuck an inch or so in and see what it feels like' approach
Extra float / equivalent just moves around and doesn't do anything (although yes it reduces the air volume, the plastic doesn't compress), which is why you need a proper spacer which you can clip into the correct place.
