I posted a note to uk.rec.sheds (chiefly because someone had used the
word "gubbins" and the Starlite guy recounted calling his product
"gubbins" when first encountered) and had this reply:

    Ah yes.  Starlite.  I recall reading almost exactly that article
    some 20 years ago in some engineering journal.  It included a
    photo sequence of someone stirring molten steel with a stick, then
    putting the stick in a bucket of water without the normal
    dangerous consequences.

    I always assumed it was all true, unlike the "combustion engine
    that runs on water" man, who used to pop up occasionally.  'cos It
    was clear that that was bollocks.

If it's bogus, at least it has staying power.  If it's not, why can't
I have some?
