Silly Putty Source
Silly Putty was invented accidentally in 1943 by James Wright, an engineer for General Electric, who was attempting to discover a synthetic rubber, which was much in demand during World War II.
After combining boric acid and silicone oil, an interesting substance was created, which was not sufficient to replace natural rubber, but which bounced and stretched, didn't collect mold and had other useful qualities..
