[Stain solution(?)]superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating

I was watching a video on youtube about a superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating : Ultra Ever Dry.

Did/Could someone try to coat a DD body with this ?

I've never heard of that one. But last year there was some talk of a German company thinking of releasing a spray that would effectively seal any surface from being able to get wet or stained. It was designed for hospitals and doctors to help keep surfaces free of bacteria and viruses and the like. Some people were saying it should work on vinyl or clothing to seal it from staining but I have yet to hear anymore about it. Not sure if this is a similar thing or not.

Ever Super Dry specifically says it doesn't work well with excessive handling with bare hands. The oleophobic-ness of it is for refined oils, not natural oils in the skin.

The specs appear to be safe but I don't feel like spending $53+$35 for one quart of the stuff plus application sprayers.

I think there's another one, Never Wet, but not sure what the cost is on it.

 

It may help with stains, but I've got to wonder what the finish looks like. If it's truly matte that's one thing. But if it's even the slightest bit gloss or satin, nope. Pretty sure I'd rather put up with stains now and again than a glossy doll to be honest. ^^;

NeverWet is sold under the Rustoleum brand in the USA. Does not make any claims about repelling oil, just water.

The base coat apparently breaks down to some potentially nasty gases so I'd avoid using it for what is essentially a (grown up ) child's toy.

...a (grown up ) child's toy.

 

haha That is awesome! And accurate.

 

Here's a video of the stuff in action :3

 

It'd be pretty cool if one never touched their dolls xD

If i remember correctly the the Neverwet is a silicone composite or simply silicone itself. But Silicone does magnify UV light degradation on the vinyl. Wonder if the instructions says anything about materials you shouldn't apply it on.
