NeverWet - TESTED & Reviewed

2013-09-08
hey everyone welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at the all-new NeverWet by resto liam purchased from your local hardware store home depot for $20 so what's never wet and is it safe does it work and how long does this come look so we'll find out on this review so never what is a super hydrophobic coating it uses nanoscopic chemicals to create a barrier at a given surface that repels liquid dramatically now per rust-oleum this product goes on metal wood concrete aluminum galvanized metal PVC masonry asphalt vinyl siding plastic fabric leather and canvas materials so never what is a two-stage system where it's simple to apply you spray on your base coat and wait 30 minutes for it to dry then spray several light top coats and allow that to dry for at least 30 minutes before exposing the material to any kind of liquid now the instructions inside the box also indicates for the maximum super hydrophobic performance at least 12 hours of dry time is suggested to let the product hear how the box did indicate this will dry bottom quote a frosted clear color as you can see in the video it does dry with its white / blueish residue so to avoid any mess of what this item can do I won't be spraying this on my feet and walking on water like Jesus so sorry folks no spraying on the skin here but the the can does give some safety warnings that should be mentioned obviously nothing held us either accidentally or eventually yes and not to have skin contact the can specifically states quote this product contains a chemical known in the state of California to cause cancer and birth effects or other reproductive harm so brings me into question why only California does this so just a word of caution out there so one I specifically use this for the basics include my workloads and keeping them as dry as I can any water-type liquid literally beads off the gloves white shoes and hats would be a common item for people to treat just to avoid those rainy days and it works great at an umbrella as well the water beads right off and your umbrella stays dry something worthwhile to me is spraying my toilet scrubber and plunger after using this to do the dirty work you can say the toilet tools remain completely dry hence it's more sanitary and as you can see when I pull out this toilet scrubber here there's barely any water remaining and lastly spray Ghassan concrete where it's prone to ice or have sustained substantial amounts of rain it works great for those who live in the wintry parts of the world water would beat off the pavement and prevent water from pooling and freezing overnight so those are just some of the more ideal applications that you can seriously apply in your personal household and now on the internet though the videos show this product doing some amazing things but the question I had and the point of my review was would it apply to me in the real world or is it just cool to look at and just fun to try it so very confident that you would have some applications in mind that I haven't thought of yet but please share them and your usage or share your ideas in the comments below but because of its white residue and items this does limit its new significantly applying this to black dress shoes yielding horrible aesthetics I was tempted to spray this on my new sofa set but again it does leave that white residue I can see more industrial / commercial applications I can see this being applied to let's say paint booths maybe you high humidity and condensation areas just to prevent corrosion and rust linings of funnels barrels etc where a company needs to reduce waste those are some of the areas or ideas off the top of my head but I'm certain there's more out there though so some issues I noticed after constant exposure water would still penetrate through the fabric also heavy oils such as motor oil didn't work as well as I thought oil so it's right into the concrete and my gloves as well and I did liberally spray these items down with a huge stage change so with that being said I can't dismiss the fact that I never what does well though to repeal those watery liquids so the last thing I wanted to test was its durability and longevity after spraying this on my gloves it left it pretty stick the first time I dropped water on the glove it repelled water very well after using my gloves and stretching the fabric materials it did lose some of its repelling performance like keep in mind though this isn't this is because of the material and it's not because of the spray bailing and fabrics after one cycle the washing machine that never went basically washed away so spraying this on concrete worked great but over time of abrasion such as walking concrete of course the layer did wear off a bit in a respray was definitely in order and another use I don't think would work are boats or applications where it would be submerged under water after testing my materials in the waste water there were flakes of never wet hence indicating the product was actually finishing off so maybe one day never what will have if not yet an industrial grade formula but again these two kids that I have here today are for the consumer and of course a wooden cutter problems severe or intense and occasions they're so overall it's a darn fascinating product and truly does what it claims to do it's to repel water dramatically so there are definite applications where this truly works and makes sense however because of its white haze it leaves behind and the durability longevity makes this item somewhat limited use so I'm certain with this items potential one day we may have a truly transparent application and we could have applied it to class or maybe even colored items routes so for the meantime I'll use this on my toilet brush and my white Adidas so again there's still some use for this product today so I hope you liked this review that never went from rust-oleum if you haven't
