Thumbs up NeverWet nano technology water repellant, my infomercial

Grins,



A quick video, and my first Infomercial has been produced.


"BUY IT NOW and I'll DOUBLE your order only for separate S/H"




As seen on DaveTV.






The other day I bought this 2 part 2 can spray on water repellant.


Just like spray paint but it's nano technology, serious.



Not cheap stuff at ~$20 a box, but I'd seen ads and video's of it on the web.


It looked amazing (if it worked as advertised) and I wanted to try it out.





Yeah, the stuff is unbelievable!



Let see after a month of walking around in these new ranch mucking shoes.


Cue Daves first ever Infomercial in 3..........2..............1

I've seen a few other vids of the stuff and seen the displays at HD. I'd love to play with some, but just don't have a ggod reason or anything to do with it once I've played with it some.

Would it work on clothing? Hats? Does it stain or color?

I'm interested . . .

bought a kit so long ago I forgot I had it until I found it yesterday in one of my cars. directions say not recommended for use on clothing. sprayed my dark leather work shoes this afternoon and now have milky white/brown work shoes. doesn't matter though because my feet are usually wet by early morning every day in the summer and I'd rather have dry feet/shoes than the original dark brown color shoes. maybe they will darken after fully cured tomorrow morning. putting them to the test on a pool job later this week.

just checked them. looks like I misted white paint on them.

I like the blue suede shoe look! But good to know that it affects the look of leather and fabric.

Can you apply it with a brush?

yes you spray Can A, wait 30 minutes to dry, then spray on Can B.


On another pair of new suede shoes, I did another second 2 step coat for double application just for giggles to see if it lasts longer.


I TRASHED on these suede shoes for the video! I mean, I just want dry shoes for doing yard work, not go deep mudding in them!

it was FUN making that video, shot at 120 frames per second slow motion at 1/4 actual speed playback.

Yes, that is actually one of the manufactures selling points, although it has to be reapplied as necessary.

I used this stuff on some construction-worker gloves - the neon yellow/orange kind. The kind with the nylon back and the suede palms. But I wanted them water-proof for bike riding in the winter. So I used this Never-wet stuff.

It works great.
