Mel, that reminds me of the first time I ever saw Kaowool. It was on
tv, there was a fiber cube with an acetylene torch pointed at the cube
while a voice off camera explained the temperature reached by an oxy-
acetylene flame. When he was done talking a hand appeared and lifted
the cube up off camera leaving a chirping baby, yellow, chick. Very
impressive! Mike Gordon

MANYMANY years ago I had a job selling replacement windows. One of the
gimmicks the company gave us to use at demos was to light a Bic on one
side (the outside) of the sample window, and have the customer place
his/her hand directly on the glass of the "indoor" side of the window,
to demonstrate how the window would keep out the hot weather/cold
weather. Not sure why it didn't just bust the glass, but it never did.
Why was kaowool being advertised on TV?

Did they turn off the torch before they lifted off the cube? ; )
