Wow, that looks pretty cool! It is not that cheap but according to them it can last for quite a while. Hmm, I can think of all sorts of stuff to try
it on.
Thanks!

It is a two part application, so at a guess one is a bonding agent.

Option C: Trigger Sprayer
• Two trigger sprayers, one for top coat and one for bottom
coat. Usually available in quart (950 mL) sizes.
• Pumps must be compatible with solvent in coating. Xylene for bottom coat and Acetone for top coat.
• Adjustable tip size to provide fine mist.
Quote:
Step 1: Bottom Coat
Shake the can of bottom coat well and pour into dedicated
sprayer. Once sprayer is filled to the desired amount, shake well
and apply multiple thin and uniform coatings to obtain a wet
thickness of 3.0-5.0 mils (76-127 microns). This will form a dry
film thickness of 1.0-1.5 mils (25-38 microns). Some agitation
during application is recommended. Avoid over wetting or
pooling. Allow 15 to 20 minutes of drying time before applying
top coat. A heat gun or blow dryer may be used on low setting
to speed up drying time.
Step 2: Top Coat
A separate sprayer used only for top coat is required. Shake
the can of top coat well and pour into sprayer. Once sprayer is
filled to the desired amount, shake well and apply multiple thin
coats. Do not overcoat. Use an equal volume of top coat to
cover the bottom coat. Some agitation during application is recommended. Avoid over wetting or pooling. The top coat will
produce a translucent white appearance.
Step 3: Drying/Curing of System
The coating will become superhydrophobic within 30 minutes
of the top coat application. For best results, allow 2 hours of
drying time. A heat gun or blow dryer may be used on low setting to speed up drying time.
Cleanup:
Clean tools/equipment immediately after use with xylene.
Empty left over top or bottom coat into original containers.
However I would be concerned with it wearing off rapidly with repeated packing and unpacking of the kite.

Care and Repair:
Ultra-Ever Dry®
is a durable coating that exhibit superhydrophobicity and superoloephobicity. After curing the coatings will
repel water mixtures and refined oil. Cleaning of the surface
should be performed using low pressure water spray. The surface should demonstrate self cleaning properties under these
conditions. Dust and dirt should rinse off easily. The surface
will remain completely dry. The surface will lose it properties if
treated with detergents, soap, some solvents or high pressure
water. Due to the natural oils in the skin, excessive handling with bare hands of treated materials can cause a reduction in performance as
can severe abrasion.

Hmm. Might work well on a mountain bike. I get sick of cleaning mud and dirt off my bikes. Of course then peeps would think I was a poser who never
does any riding since my bikes would look so clean :roll:
I was also thinking coat ice skate blades (after they are sharpened) to help go faster. Wet/dry suits, winter gear would be excellent as well. So many
possibilities.

It's already on alot of product. I bought a toilet plunger that had the nano coating. Nothing sticks to it ... I mean nothing .... haha ... You
could almost eat off it after you use it ... lol ...
Part of me is like oh my god how cool! And part of me is like oh my god we're all going to die of cancer!
I really dont know! I'm mean, not to sound alarmist, but it does apparently wear off, so... Were does it go? Remember when we all thought Teflon was
the bomb?
What ever! I'm off to home depot tomarrow...

I've used the ultra ever dry. The coating is not even close to being clear. It is pretty thick and translucent. Their video makes it look way
cooler than it is. It's pretty toxic stuff when it's being applied. You can see the whiteish coating on the guys boots when he jumps in the mud. I
would never ever think about spraying a kite with it! With the xylene and toluene (i think that was the solvents used) it might melt the kite. Costs
a lot too.
