A little under a month ago, we posted about UltraEverDry, a "revolutionary super hydrophobic coating that repels water and refined oils using nanotechnology," according to the manufacturer. The post was accompanied by a pretty amazing video of the stuff in action. The coating appears to laugh at water, oil, mud, and dirt, causing liquids of all types to cascade quickly off all kinds of different objects and surfaces.

We were intrigued, and so were you, judging by the comments on our last post. The video was done in prime infomercial style—complete with some upbeat synth-y elevator music—but it appeared to demonstrate a fascinating product. The UltraEverDry coating was clearly both hydrophobic (able to repel water) and oleophobic (able to repel oils). We were left wanting to know a lot more about UltraEverDry. What could we apply it to? How well does it work, really? Can I apply it to my dog? Will it make my dog able to repel water? (Note: Just kidding! I'd never spray UltraEverDry on my dog because I don't have a dog. However, my neighbor has a dog. Hmmmm.)

Pet applications aside, we've acquired a stash of UltraEverDry and it's sitting here next to me, awaiting its destiny. We turn to you, dear readers: what should we spray it on?

Before you go all crazy with suggestions, some rules: all joking aside, I'm not going to spray this on any living creatures, no matter how fun it might be to see how well a superhydrophobic goldfish is able to get on. I'm also not going to spray it on anything valuable that I personally own—it's not going on my car or my laptop or phone, though I've got an old iPhone 3GS that I absolutely plan to sacrifice to the nanotech gods. I also won't be consuming anything I spray it on, so suggestions I make a grilled cheese sandwich, coat it with UltraEverDry, and then eat it will be ignored.

However, that aside, I'm happy to apply this stuff to anything reasonable you guys can think up and that I can acquire without too much effort and without Ken freaking out about my March expense report (so, no "BUY A CHEAP USED CAR AND TREAT IT AND THEN JUMP IT OFF A BRIDGE INTO A LAKE," even though that would kick ass).

Bring on the suggestions, guys. What should we transform into a nanotech-coated water repellant superobject? We'll assemble the results together in a video once the testing is complete!

(And for good measure, here's that video one more time.)
