Just let your imagination run wild with all the things you can do with this stuff. If you buy the two part material and mix your own it's a little over $155 per quart, but super glue is still close to $95 per quart in small tubes.

Imagine opening all of your dry fly boxes on a work bench. Pass the air brush once over all the boxes. BOOM!! No floatant needed...and your boxes repel water at the same time!

I wonder how long the coating lasts?

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
According to the website, the color is a translucent white and they do not have a transparent coating at this time.
Here is the link to the website............great looking stuff. http://www.spillcontainment.com/everdry
I told my pastor at the Baptist church I attend about this product. He was quite concerned about misuse by the Methodist.

Google "hydrophobic nanotechnology" and you will get a lot of hits. There are companies working on using this for waders and outdoor clothing.
I wonder if ski wear can be a problem. They tried super slick skiwear about 30 years ago and if skiers fell, there was not enough friction of stop the skiers. That trend didn't last too long!

Something that didn't occur to me until just a minute ago is using it to coat fly lines. Casting might be better but more to the point, lifting the line off the water might create less disturbance. I wonder if it damages fly lines &/or leader material. That might be great stuff for furled thread leaders.
If one sprayed too far down a line or leader, it might make knots highly questionable.
Perhaps it will become the next practical joke, coating friends tippet material, brooms, etc... Perhaps if Sisyphus ever gets his boulder to the top of the hill, his next task will be to tie a couple of dozen bead head nymphs using beads liberally coated with the stuff.

A young fellow on a local BB, was thinking about the extended period between doing laundry and changing bed linen for single guys. But if you jumped in the bed after a shower you might slide out the other side.
I have to admit I did think of telling some of my hotel friends about the product as a possible coating for bedspread / comforter in hotels, which do not get laundered that often.
