I wonder. If you NeverWet a pair of socks. Wouldn't it make the sweat from your feet just be all water in your sock? It wouldn't let it evaporate or absorb into the fabric lol.

The litter box idea they show in the video sounds great.. much easier to clean.

Would plates and stuff be safe? Or...practical? Funny, maybe.

I wonder if it'd be useful on a paintbrush, or at least on the ferrule.. would keep them clean. But on the hairs themselves it'd affect absorbancy, though for latex painting that might not be a problem. Also if you had a paint-stir-stick for such projects it'd keep that clean and let you wipe paint off brushes without much waste etc.

Might be good to put on gardening tools too, to keep them cleaner.

Furniture, if it doesn't hurt wood or stains it could protect it from spills.

Maybe shower or grout, to keep moisture from accumulating and causing mold, the drops would just drip down the drain..

I'd want to know how easily it gets scratched off (and how to intentionally remove it) before using this stuff, but I'm thinking it would be nice on bicycle handlebars, saddles, and to replace grease for seatposts, stems. Hell, it could replace paint.
