"Never Wet" by Rustoleum

Tragic Flaw

While it's only been a few days, it seems incredibly unlikely that the coating would last through any continued wear and tear. When we handled the dried, treated items, bits of white, superhydrophobic magic started flaking off after merely picking it up. We thought that it might just be an initial sloughing of excess skin, but it kept happening.

At the end of the session, the water bucket was coated with a fine layer of discarded NeverWet. Same goes for the salsa. And even the USB drive (the plastic of which is included in the materials best-suited to NeverWet) continued to shed off bits of white as easily as its other temporarily waterproof brethren. So while its water-repellent qualities may be a fun—nay, phenomenal party trick, don't expect it to last.

Rustoleum is just a big corporation with huge marketing ideas; that chose to cut a deal with the people developing the polymer. Given some time; you can bet that this polymer will be developed for hard coatings... and Rustoleum won't have any claim to it.
