Rust-Oleum NeverWet Multi Purpose Kit, White White

I am a great lakes Scuba diver. Diving Lake Michigan this early in the season is extremely cold, and I use a dry suit. Unfortunately for me my suit has developed some leaks I have been unable to find and patch, So I used NeverWet to coat the inside and outside of my suit along with my undergarments, which are like a fleece snowsuit. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while the suit still leaked, because the undergarment was coated I didn't get wet and still stayed warm and dry. The two part mix works well! It makes what it is coated just a little bit stiffer, and has a milky haze to it when dried. But if it can keep me dry at the bottom of the lake, it will work great on shoes, boots camper canvas and anything that the milky haze isn't a problem for.

The media could not be loaded. I am pleased with the result of the product on cardboard. I have included a video of a test piece of cardboard to show how effective it is. I also put the product on some packing material that I use for an on-demand camp shower. I wanted to protect the packing material because the camp shower equipment might be wet when stored and I did not want it to create a soggy mess of it.

I'm going to assume that if this product was used, it would have been great!? Unfortunately, it was damaged before that could happen. Not, having used the same product before, I know for a fact that it works. But, I cannot attest to the seller or Amazon's part. I do know it came in the exact same packaging and was legit. No problems.

I’ve tried this on several things now. It definitely does what it claims but, as others have pointed out, it’s not clear and it’s most noticeable on black or very dark items. It leaves a bluish haze. Durability is also pretty weak on anything that ever gets moved or touched. The best use I’ve found is on my kayak paddle. It turns the black paddle blue-grey but that doesn’t bother me. I wish I didn’t have to re-apply it every 6-10 trips, though. No matter how careful I am, the friction with the water alone eventually ruins the effect. Actually, it’s quite sensitive to friction so you can’t even wipe it without dulling it’s water-repellant quality. Actually removing the product from a surface is quite difficult, but destroying the effect is pretty easy. Then you’re faced with putting another coat on, thickening the bluish haze. For something stationary like a satellite dish, mailbox etc, you should expect to get several months.

We prefer wood toilet seats, but they discolor. Bought this on recommendation to paint over the white seat to protect it more. Followed directions as stated, but the first layer just peeled off. Probably best to use on wood that hasn’t been painted.

This stuff is wicked awesome! It really works! However keep in mind that it is not completely clear and will leave a slight frost finish on anything its applied to, this is likely why most all of the video demonstrations for it on YouTube are on white cloth. I used it to spray a pair of Sperry Top Siders and a Small Camera case. The Top Siders came out amazing, Once painted you cannot tell that it was applied until I dump water all over them. They are made out of a tan canvas-like material, I sprayed the canva, rubber, and the laces. After they dried from both applications completely unnoticeable. The Camera case on the other hand was a different story. This was mad out of a neoprene-like material and was black in color. The short version is that it completely ruined the case. It discolored the case gray leaving a purple tinge and messed up the zipper. In retrospect I could have prepped this a bit better by masking off some areas but I thought that might defeat the purpose. To get the case back to black i tried spray painting it but epic fail. Painting over the top coat of Never Wet turned most of the paint into powder. I had to re-apply the base coat then while wet, spray the flat black, let dry then spray the top coat. Some things are not meant to be Never Wetted. See Good Mythical Mornings Never Wet Video on YouTube for what does and doesn't work.

I found the prospect of nano-technology paint intriguing, and researched this product including looking at videos of it in use. If the videos are to be believe, this is a miraculous product that repels water in an almost magical way.My application was inside my shower stall, where I wanted to use the product to prevent the accumulation of water and its subsequent migration onto my bathroom floor. The theory was that the water would run down the shower doors, hit the treated sill, and roll away as in the video. This product was completely useless for this process.First I should mention that the application process is pretty painful. Two different products and two coats of the sealer. Wait time between the coats. Then a twelve hour cure period. It's certainly not easy. Fumes (as stated) are extremely intense and I would say almost characterize the product as unusable in an interior application. Luckily I have a large window in the bathroom and could evacuate the fumes.At the conclusion I found: a) most of the treated surface seemed to have no effect whatsoever; b) some of the surface showed a mild beading up of water; c) no miraculous repulsive powers as implied in the video; d) water lay in the same place and same quantity, but in droplets; e) the product became completely overwhelmed as the water built up; and finally the sill looked exactly the same as it had before.Given the imprecision of the directions ("apply but do not flood" whatever that means), it is possible that I might not have done the application correctly, but I am pretty meticulous about stuff and I followed the directions as best as I could.This product might work for other applications; don't know. But if you want to treat a marble sill between your shower and bathroom floor, skip it.
