This would be a good thing for me...I've broken too many high-end TV screens in the last 18 months that it's a crying shame.

I must admit that it seems a litle strange that such a product would set unused for so long. Seems to me that it would have 100’s of applications.

Maybe the filth we call personal injury lawyers can find some more junk science to bilk more billions and ruin them a second time.

I call it marketing genius, when one product (silicone) creates demand for another (large screen TVs).

I was marvelling at the quality of their product only last night and thinking how this is an American company that takes pride in their work.

While doing the dishes I was noticing how the Corningware dishes we have for everyday use look brand new, but over 10 years old. My other set of everyday dishes are chipped and the same age.

They said that this company has been around since the Cival War, it’s good to know that at least a good old American company is still around and doing well.

It can also flex without breaking.

Still trying to find out why they didn't market this glass before, for mundane things like windows or eyeglasses. Expense?

Everytime I hear the name Corning it calls to mind the glasses we used to get when we filled up with gas. One time we got an entire case of glasses with a fill up.

ahhh..The Golden Age.

They better be careful with the “Gorilla” moniker.

There is Gorilla Glue out there and Gorilla Tape, it’s a pretty good bet that the Gorilla folks will go after them for trademark infringement.

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Corning for selling off its consumer Pyrex division and name. The new company now uses a cheap and unsatisfactory material—but still markets it as “Pyrex”.

I’m thinking thin layers of this sandwiched with a malleable plastic (Lucite?) film would create a really good ballistics glass.
