this could destroy the most annoying thing in SW keeping: Salt Creep

That's pretty interesting. I'd be interested in seeing how it works for our purposes. Thanks Nate!
 
I wonder how toxic to marine life it really is... I like how they indicate that since its a "consumer" product that means its safe.......... :twitch:
 
One of the comments says that the stuff dries to a white frosted color and shouldn't be used on glass you'd want to see through.

Does NeverWet work with all liquids?
Certain solvents, alcohols and soap/detergents will cause the surface of the coating to
lose superhydrophobicity. Once these chemicals are removed, the superhydrophobicity
will generally return. NeverWet is less effective at repelling motor oils and oil based
liquids.

How long will Rust-Oleum NeverWet coating last?
Environmental conditions will affect the longevity of the NeverWet coating. Abrasion is the
leading cause of reduction in the coating’s life, but also exposure to things such as high
pressure water can reduce the life of the coating.

Can NeverWet be used on fabric?
Rust-Oleum NeverWet will adhere to most fabrics, but it will leave a flat milky haze on the
surface. As with other substrates, test in an inconspicuous area before applying to the
entire surface. Particular attention should be paid to seams. Apply a heavier than normal
coat of Base Coat around seams to help prevent liquids from penetrating those areas.

Are coated items “breathable”?
The breathability of a coated item is dependent on how heavy the Base Coat is applied.
The lighter the Base Coat, the more breathable the item will be. If a continuous, heavy film
is applied, the surface will not be breathable.

Can Rust-Oleum NeverWet be used on surfaces that are continuously submerged?
Rust-Oleum NeverWet relies on a layer of air to form the superhydrophobic coating on the
surface of the object. For this reason the product is not recommended for surfaces
continuously submerged in water or liquid.

Can NeverWet be applied to glass?
Yes, but the glass will no longer be transparent. NeverWet dries to a Flat Frosted Clear
color, therefore, it should never be applied to windshields or automobile windows.
NeverWet will work on any glass that you want to have superhydrophobic properties, but
don’t need to see through.

Can NeverWet be used on electronics?
No, NeverWet should not be used on electronics.
Can NeverWet be recoated?
If the superhydrophobic properties are diminished, NeverWet can be reapplied. Lightly
sand the surface of the coated object to remove any remaining Top Coat, and then reapply
the Base and Top Coat according to the directions on the previous page.

Can NeverWet be removed?
Yes. If you desire to remove NeverWet completely, it can be removed by first sanding and
then wiping the treated object with Xylol or mineral spirits.

Can NeverWet be painted over?
No, if the Top Coat is covered with any type of coating, the superhydrophobic properties
will be lost

Yet in the video they show them coating an iPhone - which will lead everyone to go out and do it ... and F*ck up their phones.
 
so i got this stuff at home depot. I masked off a piece of acrylic and sprayed it on, then removed the masking. It's pretty freaking amazing stuff. Also tried it on a piece of filter floss because I heard you can make a sponge that will soak up anything except water. Vids later.
