Interesting product...possible application to RV's

[martinto]

Saw an article on this product some time ago...now it looks like Rust Oleum will market it under their brand line. I'm curious about the various applications to RV's. Perhaps sealing areas on the roof? Anyone have more info on this product?

Nothing like the infomercial stuff. This is a "hyperphobic" (I think that is the term) treatment that repels water. It was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratories here in East Tennessee.

It does exactly what you see. Applications are limitless and are just now being explored.

I don't think it would take a leaky rubber roof (usually a tear or lack of cauk) and magically seal it. It would, however, make water that hits the roof roll off like a duck.

And think about treating the entire outside of your TT with this stuff. Dirt won't stick. Black streaks won't happen.

Has been featured in-depth on several local news reports, and also made national news a while back. I, for one, am excited about the possibilities.

X2. The new breed of sprays are pretty amazing and work pretty good. I have recently used the dip products that they now sell in spray on form and they work wonders. I think only time will tell. No sense turning our noses up to new technologies if its going to make our lives easier, and sometimes better and cheaper in the long run. There were lots of nay Sayers about going to the moon too.

Looks promising.
