Self-Sealing Window Panes

Careful with that ball, Eugene!

Windows tend not to survive encounters with cricket/base/golf balls.

The new SSWP product uses a high viscosity polymer, that hangs in a sheet, allowing light in and out to be used as a window pane.

They should be flipped every 1/2hr, to stop it flowing out onto the floor, over time.

A ball will stick like a fly in amber, finally dropping the next day, as the surface tension of the pane reasserts itself.

Sharp, sudden attempts to penetrate the "glass" will simply trigger the dilatant response of the material.

       Ah, Eugene. How is his axe-wound doing?

       Much better, since he had that foototomy.
