Something tells me we (sign industry) wont be seeing much of this stuff.. something tells me it will cost more than titanium!

But, you can still bet'cher ass some guy down the street will do it for 1/2, eh?

I must be missin the joke too cause the first thing I read was "THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN CORRECTED! CLICK HERE TO READ THE CORRECTION !!! THERE ISN'T TRANSPARENT ALUMINUM AFTER ALL !!!"

It's not aluminium, it's aluminium oxide. [Smile]

THis is what we in the south call a "sh*t and fell back in it" faux pas. (fo-paw, not fox pass)

Hey, it LOOKED authentic, and their reasoning for the creation of such a material made sense to me.

Still and all, an amazing discovery even if it is a ceramic versus a metal.

As a friend of mine in California says when he sends an email and forgets to attach the file,

"I've got a case of premature publication"

Sorry Fergie.....I misunderstood your statement. I thought you were saying that the article didn't exist and that you couldn't bring it up.

My bad.
