I will leave that comment for EdD.

I think the solvents in this product would turn flylines into plastic goo. But there may be other products out there, I have a friend who was involved with a form release using no volatile organic compounds that used nanotechnology. I was thinking this could be a boon to sinking line casting and getting it out of / off of the water.

Imagine trying to sit on a broom handle coated with that stuff...
If it doesn't make it slick, then it might keep it dry.
A witch could coat her big, pointy hat with that stuff to repel the rain. Lightning would require a different sort of protection.
Speaking of protection, I think it's time for toads to hide under big rocks...

I read about this on another bb I frequent (Modern Vespa). The potential is huge. Unfortunately it's very expensive. I think I read its over $500 for a gallon of the two part mixture. I'm sure in time the price will dramatically drop as uses increases. I would love to have my car clear coated with the stuff when they finally are able to develop a translucent version.

Yes, EdD, that would be a good idea!

You would buy a white car. I think the price works out at about $628 per gallon. There are other products out there with similar results. I was talking with a friend who was/is invested in a company producing a no VOC form release for concrete using nano-tech stuff. They were not allowed to patent their formulation for some technical reason, which I understood to be the Patent Office didn't understand how it works.

I wonder if it could be used to cut down on the graffiti on buildings etc. It would be great to watch some spray can artist in total frustration because the paint doesn't stick.

It would be more fun to catch them while holding Rin Tin Tin's nasty tempered great grandson on a leash. The coating would probably be more effective but not as much fun.
