I vaguely recall some semi-crazy guy in England coming up with a home-made plastic that, he claimed, was fireproof, shock proof, whatever proof. I think he named it “Star Light”, but I may be wrong. IIRC he was immensely paranoid of giant corporations stealing his formula, also, IIRC, part of the super-secret formula involved hair spray.

Am I the semi-crazy guy here, or does anybody else remember this? Does anyone know what ever became of his miracle plastic?
