I Want Everything I Have Coated with This Stuff

Pretty amazing…

Of course, it remains to be seen if this stuff is for real. Does it wear out after three days? Does it really perform like the demo, or is it rigged in some way?

Infomercial in three, two….

    Even if it wears out, the option of coating your boots before going for a hike is something I’d love to be able to.

    What makes me a bit reluctant though is a thought how this substance reacts with human body. It’s nanoscopic, so it can enter through skin etc. – though with such water phobia it would have to get gunshot into the skin to enter it. On the other hand ingesting or inhaling it should easily make it enter the body. Obviously there is no studies, and I hope it won’t be as horrid as rentgen pictures I saw of a hand of a worker handling glass wool – his body was filled with the stuff :/

    With new nanoscopic materials there can be dangers similar to asbestos – mass use of a wonderful material, then cancer scare…

    ^ yeah, I was going to mention that ‘coatings’ eventually become ‘flakes’ which become particulate dust in the environment, which is ingested.

Please leave a comment in the text box below. I have loosened up the spam nonsense as much as I can while trying to leave the comments reasonably flexible.

HTML is allowed; use either the <blockquote> or the <bq> tags to indicate quoted material. Links (under 10 per comment) and images are allowed, and <div> and <embed> tags should work (let me know if they do not). I reserve the right to deactivate links to commercial sites if I feel they are not in the true context of the discussion.

Please follow common-sense etiquette for posting. Arguments are fine, getting angry is fine, venting is fine, but do not intentionally troll or provoke for the fun of it, and try to keep the name-calling down to a dull roar. Angry or mocking drive-by comments are not welcome, nor is spam of any sort.
