How does rubbing fiberglass installation on drywall make it flexible?

Asked by shego (11093points) January 31st, 2011 from iPhone

I was watching a show on the DIY network and the host was saying that you can rub installation on drywall to make it flexible.
How does that work?

It heats up the pieces. Using a heat source, such as a hand held hair dryer would work as well.

Maybe it breaks up some of the fluffiness, thus making it easier to bend.

BTW, the same does NOT work for your eyes – be careful.
