    When you spray that on a shirt, what happens when you sweat?

    What happens when whatever you spray it on gets dirty?

    Just what we need to combat the Repukes/Billionaires “Trickle Down” – it’s mostly PISS ON YOU, SUCKERS !!! At least until the Revolution comes, and then HEADS WILL ROLL !!!

    I want this for my car’s windows. Do you suppose it would repel ice and snow just as well as liquid water?

    The consumers will just be rabid for this.

    This is witchcraft and the United Raincoat Manufactures lobby is all over it.

    Its just a blog, but some good info, if true, here:

    1. Its not for sale yet
    2. other competing products
    3. Makes clothes sweat stain proof–good for high stress folks?
    4. its fragile==wears out?
    5. Gortex may be a better choice for clothes.

    I love technology. Why wear safety glasses when I can just spray my eyeballs?

      Rush Limbaugh would need eight coats and a sealer

        Rush limbaugh oozes his wet sticky goop from the inside. No amount of spray paint can hide his repulsiveness.

      FWIW, most gore-tex and similar clothing uses this type of coating. Not this extreme stuff, but some sort of basic hydrophobic coating. You can buy a spray used for re-treatment.

    One last thing, I noticed that they specified that it repels heavy oil. What happens if you get salad oil on your shirt?

    (spontaneous combustion.)

    They did omit light oils and sweat contains light oils. Washing might or might not be an issue once stained.

    So, can I walk across water?

    In any case, I want something more useful. Like something that will shed the crap that gets on my eyeglasses…

    If its non conductive, non corrosive maybe all cameras can be waterproof when applied properly.

    What happens if you inhale overspray? I mean, lungs work best when liquids touch surfaces…

    I think dirt is a healthier option.
