Never wet!

YES!

That looks awesome, I bet there are some negative aspects to it though. We'll probably realize eventually that it causes cancer or something.

This could actually be super useful in your everyday life.

Imagine never really needing windshield wipers again, or a car wash for your car? Imagine the amount of water we'd save not having to wash cars.

And preventing water damage in homes? Coating water pipes with this to keep water from leaking? Basements and foundations?

Imagine if we start treating cell phones with this stuff so that we wouldn't have to replace the cell phone? (Someone's going to start offering this service soon, I know they are.)

I can think of about a million ways that this stuff would be super helpful.

It makes treated surfaces whitish and somewhat stiff/inflexible (a little like a tarp, only without the thickness). A coworker treated his umbrella and brought it in. It was very cool, but definitely not appropriate for most clothes and rugs.

right...i guess that would sort of be expected. that's too bad tho.

Also, since it has a texture and is semi-opaque, it also wouldn't work for treating windshields, etc.

Here's a pretty good arstechnica article written by someone testing it out on various surfaces.

Worth noting also is the feel of the shirt coated in Ultra-Ever Dry. It felt a bit chalky against my skin—I wouldn't want to wear a shirt or pants treated with the stuff, at least not without an untreated layer under me. It made the fabric feel stiff, and it was not at all comfortable. This is fine for shoes or boots, but not for anything you'd wear on your body. The exception might be a coat or a jacket, but I wouldn't spray Ultra-Ever Dry on anything expensive—the change in texture and the translucent film would detract hugely from a nice coat's look and feel. That said, it definitely worked—mostly, anyway. I would need a more even and far more thorough coating to withstand a soaking like the one my wife made me endure. She would not stop spraying me.

I wonder what using this stuff as lube would be like...

Lol, I love the commentary in the article.

I would bet with 90% confidence that it would give you cancer. Sooner or later. And would probably feel horrendous. Unless you mean a different kind of lube...

At first I thought this was a thread devoted to frigid females. Then I realized I had already posted a thread.

Dude, I did too.

Now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't stick if you're applying it to something which is already somewhat moist.

And answer my question in the other thread, fool. I got all excited.

Yes, we must get you away from this thread immediately.
