Ward and his 'starlite' were on 20/20 here in the states.  After that appearance, a rep from DuPont came out to meet him across the pond.  He caught the guy trying to get away with a sample by stuffing it down his pants.

(big surprise)


Obviously some back room deal was struck long ago....because he's still alive, I believe, and the stuff's nowhere to be found in the public domain.

That guy is Troy Hurtubise...apparently he split with his wife and possibly is ducking bill collectors.

He has invented many products and is googleable.

Thats the guy Tech...there are many story's on the net...I saw a sample of this super strong lightweight plastic like material apparently made from corn syrup, diet coke, and some other grocery store items.

Very impressive...has a much longer impact resistance life before weakening.

I believe he called it Hurtsey.

Hi Tracker
your first link as an error message
 I watched the video, I remember seeing this when it was new, way back in the 70s
 tomorrow's world was great television. BBC took it off air sometime in the early 80s
 I remember something about the guy not trusting anyone when it came to a deal
 it's a shame the BBC are not bring back the series

 thanks for the memory
