I've been watching this for almost a year as scientists talked about it on Science 360...
It's here!
Can you imagine what this could be used for? I'm wondering if it can be applied to cladding?
Watch this AMAZING video!

I can think of all sorts of things to use that on!! Thanks for sharing Tyler.
Good call Tom!!
I just phoned AND emailed them. Phone has an automated message that leads to voice mail for a rep to return a call.
I left a VM and an email asking directly, can we apply this product over LineX. I'll let you know my findings...
It seems to leave a white film if sprayed to heavy. There was a review on Home Depot as well that states the same. So over the black Line-X, it may turn to a grey color. Maybe?
:: !Ha ~ Tom that's friggin' hilarious ::
I'm thinking my shower! no more water spots?
Now we're talkin'. :yesgray:Quote:

So if I spray this on my whole body and walk into the water does this happen? :confused:

I would also wonder at the longevity. How will it hold up to rain, mud, wind and so on? How long does it last? Will it hold up under heat under the hood? I was thinking about the phone, does plugging in the charger and head phone wear the product off of the electrical surfaces? I assume it is conductive as well.
Awesome stuff though, how long before Columbia is marketing it on rain coats, back packs, tents and so on?
Olympic swimmers will spray this on their bodies...
Mebbe they should include a bottle with every Jeep sold ... to control the slobber stains on their shirts when they see a VX pass them on the trail.:)

:: Tom is on Fire! ~ good points Marlin ~ i'll scoop up a kit tmrrw for some testing & reviews ::
I picked mine up yesterday and did a chunk of tshirt. Neat stuff, mesmerizing to watch. Problems: not durable, easily rubbed off, so no good for a surface that routinely is touched or handled. The shirt was awesome, but, once water gets underneath the treated layer, its no good. So you would have to treat the inside and outside of the shirt. We are going white water rafting in a few weeks, and I was thinking how cool it would be to do our bathing suits, step off the raft and our clothes be dry. Not gonna be doable:(
But for things like outside fixtures, birdhouse, things of that nature, I think it would be cool. Not sure how long it is UV stable?
Conclusion:
Awesome toy, good for specific projects, but not for most, questionable durability and sure as hell aren't doing a phone. It does not dry clear. Even has a warning on it telling you it does not dry clear and to not use it on electronics. I was thinking my go-pro and rear camera on the truck, but not gonna happen.
Just mask off the lense and treat the rest of the camera.
Ive been thinking about military applications. Coat the hull of a ship. Higher speed and less fuel consumption. But preventing it from capsizing...
so after this has been out for a while and people have been playing with it what is the verdict?
you all think this would work on a motorcycle chain?
any updates on this product? just saw a commercial for it
Nothing new, it would not work anywhere there is abrasion or UV exposure without repeat treatment. I am doing a raincoat with it, but it does change the color.
witchcraft.
lol if it was witch craft it would cost your soul, and be permanent.
Eh. probably just cost you a few years off the end of your life, and an agonizingly painful death to some odd foot cancer from waterproof shoes you finagled in 2014.
If they did, would they just sink to the bottom because they are so water repellant?Quote:

Think I have better things to spend 20 bucks on
