    AND after a spraying how long does it last? how many washings etc.
    Nope not worried about these nanocytes taking up residence in my skin at all, with their little cameras and hypodermic needles-who knows what they'll do. I'll just stick with worrying about impending economic collapse and civil war.
    Now back to the topic...I was/am in a hurry...on the market? price?
    Imagine your favorite t-shirt is now waterproof. I'd love to do an application on a merion wool hoody from BPL; that would suddenly become my most precious garment of all time.

    I started following this off & on after I first saw it demonstrated a couple of years ago on the BPL forum.

    My understanding of it is that it's not a coating (like PU) that makes the material waterproof, but that it waterproofs the fibers of the material such that they cannot absorb water.

    In other words, if you treat your mesh trail runners with this and then walk through a creek, your socks will get wet but the shoes won't gain any weight because they will still be dry.

    I have two pair of pants that do this and it's amazing to watch!
    (Don't ask me where you can buy these pants; you can't).

    MAD777 is correct on his description of how the product works. I have been in contact with the company that makes the product about purchasing some they got back to me with some paperwork to fill out , filled out and returned now waiting on some prices. I will let you know when they get back to me.

    Well, I'm not sure how much I can say on this subject here at HF. But it seems this product does a lot more than keep you dry. Suffice it to say, it seems one of the additional and very surprising benefits of this product - though it is still being tested to confirm if this is true or not - is increasing your knowledge of God.

    This is one of the side effects after it is absorbed through the skin.

    I wonder what happens when it enters the bloodstream, whether it can migrate through the skin, etc.
    You mean sort of like DMSO?
