Amazing Demo of a Water-Repellent Spray You Can Actually Buy
Design for Good | Big Think: "This is a game changer!" says Jim Stinner, the vice president of marketing for Rust-Oleum, the company which manufactures and distributes NeverWet - a spray-on coating that repels water, mud, ice and other liquids. And judging by the demo-video, it really is.

When I first heard about Never-Wet, a few days ago, I must admit to scoffing. I've seen water repellent products before, and they all have their uses, but those uses tend to be fairly limited. Then I saw this video and my scoffs turned to accusations of sorcery. How you make a product that does all of these things is a mystery on a par with "Why are we here?" but the potential applications seem to be beyond belief. If this product were sprayed on wood, would it still warp due to moisture? If not, then it's worth any amount of effort put into it. But when the other things it claims to do are considered, it becomes staggering. Everything from circuit board damage to smelly shoes could be prevented. I'm certainly amazed.
I HAVE THIS!! I just bought it on Sunday, but I have yet to use it. This product sounds like something out of a cheesy futuristic film. Spray this on your clothes and they'll never get wet! Really, who would believe that? Well here it is, real as can be. Science now is so mind blowing that I'm convinced we can make anything if we put a team of Harvard graduates on the project. If we can have a product that allows us to defy water, I'm conviced we'll have teleportation in 100 years.
Neverwet is the most fantastic thing ever! There are nearly limitless possibilities that can be unlocked with it. Costumes can become stain proof. Water slides could repel water. Clothes could become impervious to rain. In addition to all its practical purposes, the product has tons of possible uses for effects with water. Just looking at how the surface tension causes the water to stick to the non-coated surface while surrounded by the coated surface makes me think that there are thousands more things you could do with water.
