Ultra Ever Dry on Discs?

This video is pretty amazing. I would like to try this on a disc and throw a rain round.



Ultra Ever Dry Amazing new nano polymer repels almost any substance! Ultra Ever Dry is a patented hydrophobic and oleophobic coating that can be applied to almost any surface! Say good bye to Rust, Grease, Dirt, Ice and Salt Water! Ultra Ever Dry forms a protective air barrier that protects and blocks adhearance of unwanted debris.

It's pricy and requires an under and top coat to work.

It would also be great for boots.

I was wondering this yesterday. I'm trying to get some of this for work also to see how we'll it actually works.

Nothing will ever get dirty again. I need to put this on my Jeep when we go wheelin.

 

[freezermink]

you guys must have read my mind. i was researching this stuff for a good hour yesterday.

I did see a few listings online for the under and top coating in 32oz and 64 oz spray bottles for ~$35 to start... not that bad.

if it'd work on discs it would be pretty amazing... though i don't know how it would coat it without affecting its feel. boots/shoes/gloves/disc bag etc would be perfect though.

Just make sure you don't get any on your girlfriend.

Would something like Rain-X work on a disc?

I have used rainx on a z driver and it made it very very slippery.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

That stuff seems amazing. I could see how it could make discs feel funny, if not all out slippery, and not quite sure that's a great use for it. Not that hard to wipe a disc clean.


bags... :thmbup:

Video shows boots :thmbup: Jackets and outer wear would be great applicatuions for it, too.
mmmm..... carpets, car interiors, furniture $$$$
I wonder how long an application lasts?

Materials science: it's a wonderful thing :clap: My son's getting his degree in that field - hope gets to work on something neat like this.


P.S. matresses... I'm jus 'sayin...

that stuff looks cool wouldn't put it on my boots though seems to make them white looking

 

[mashnut]

If it works that well, I don't care if it makes my boots a little white looking. Cool stuff!

one major issue listed in their FAQ is: Abrasion is the leading cause of reduction in the superhydrophobic coating's life.

Yeah, pretty sure this stuff wouldn't last on discs for very long.

I would love to spray my bag with this stuff. It would be great to not to have to worry about finding a decent spot to sit it on the ground. I'll just wait for the cost to come down first.

 

[maansmit]

Looks intriguing for my bag and shoes.

 

[blackandwhite]

there goes the idea of using it for bag bottoms. I could see boots needing reapplication of this from the use that a typical pair of boots would have

I wonder how often you'd need to reapply on shoes and bags. If it was a once a year type thing, that would totally be worth it, but if the wear and tear of a handful of rounds was enough to reduce the effectiveness it wouldn't be all that cost effective.

Rhynoliner or any material like it works great for the bottom of your dg bag.

 

[AcidRain]

Using it on the disc would be against PDGA rules.
