I Want Everything I Have Coated with This Stuff
February 13th, 2013
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.
