Others had used it for rubber shoes and coats, but they melted during the heat of summer. Goodyear believed rubber could be "tanned" or "cured" like animal hides. Dropping all other interests, Goodyear tried adding various chemicals to change rubber's properties, commandeering his wife's kitchen in the process. As the story goes, in 1838, he met Nathanael Hayward, who discovered that mixing Sulphur with rubber and exposing it to sunlight reduced its stickiness. He cured the mixture in an acid bath, which stabilized the rubber. He went into business in Woburn, MA, producing rubber products such as life preservers and mailbags, but discovered that prolonged exposure to heat still melted the product.</p>
