Waterproofing spray: Rustoleum Neverwet

I haven't checked out their new press releases, but if the old ones and stories were right, this could be used to waterproof electronics. And it's available at Home Depot. I'll be checking my local store tomorrow.

Hmmm... So this stuff is at HD?

I may have to get some and try it out on a few things.

That's it. I want to use it for my lights, but I'm going to have to experiment with it first before using it on the lights I'll be modding and building. I want to see how it affect soldering and resistance. It should no problem with drivers that are installed with a retaining ring though.

rustproofing sounds like an ideal application for this

I want some, for what I dont yet know. I’d like some for my boots but other that that, I dont have a clue!

What are you guys going to use it on?

I’ll coat my dishes and utensils so they never need to be washed ever again J)

Not bad! Is this stuff chemically inert and safe?

Camping stuff is primarily what I'll be buying it for.

I might spray my phone. Supposedly it's so hydrophobic that it may work even without spraying the inside. It'd repels water enough at the edges and gaps that the inside would stay dry. I imagine it'd work a lot better with newer phones that don't have keyboards, number pads or removable batteries. Maybe I'll try an old phone first. :D

I'd like to do my motorcycle helmet visor and seat. Hell, I'd spray my entire "waterproof" suit. It's keep me dry, but soaks up pounds and pounds of water outside of the goretex liner.

As I said before, I'd spray my flashlight...at least the driver.

If I find someone I really hate, I'd like to find a way to spray their tongue so they'll always be thirsty.

Spray it on the car :slight_smile:

I wonder how it affects the breathability of materials. I wouldn’t want to spray my running shoes with it only to discover that it keeps water in as much as it keeps it out… :Sp

They've said it stays breathable. The issue with shoes is that it may not be durable enough to be worth it. I'd love it for shoes and socks if it worked. I backpack with non-waterproof shoes. It'd be awesome if my footwear dried out instantly after deep water crossings, or if I could spray my pants and have them instantly be waterproof, or make my 4th season tent into an all seasons tent.

Once this product proves itself over time, I'd spray some of my old beloved electronics to protect them "just in case". HP48G, I'm thinking of you.

For fun, I could coat my floors and slide around the house in wet cotton socks. :D

There's the unknown environmental risk though. Waterproofing treatments tend to be bad for creatures that live in the water.

I'm thinking I have an old ipod touch (either 1st or 2nd gen) that I never use anymore, I may try pulling that apart to spray it.

This might make fan cooled flashlights more palatable for designers because water sealing wouldn't be a big deal. Zoomies can be waterproof now too.

It wasn't at my local Home Depot yet.

They don’t recommend using it on electronics, i found the instructions and msds, both are on home depots website and not on the rustoleum one

I’m curious to spray it on my umbrella and rain coat.

Anyone remember seeing a video of superhydrophobic spray a while ago? The guy poured chocolate syrup on a white shoe…

It’s awesome that we finally can buy something like that now!

Checked my home depot yesterday. Said they were suppose to have 210 but could not find it. It was still on truck and not unloaded yet. Said to check back in a couple of days.

WRT flashlights/ electronics, I’d be cautious about the insulative properties of the sparay.

This is awesome to know that we can buy this stuff locally now! IIRC it is fine with electronics if it's the same hydrophobic spray that came out last year. Apple was going to use it on all their portable electronics (iphone, ipod, etc..) to make them waterproof internally if dunked.

Unless this Rustoleum branded spray is different it should be fine with drivers and such. I will definitely use it on my shoes and some jackets. Would be great to have dry shoes on those wet days riding the HD.

what will i use it on?
truck upholstery
boots
leather hat that shrinks everytime it gets wet
and i’ll probably spray my dogs lol
