[HCARC] Never wet is amazing--Re: HCARC Digest, Vol 27, Issue 1

Mon Jul 1 18:37:42 EDT 2013

I rather say that NeverWet MIGHT be amazing.  The problem with spraying it 
on clothes and all over on shoes is it would seal the moisture in as well as 
out.  Imagine a hot Texas summer day with lots of sweating.  Not pretty.

That said, I wonder how it might help seal UHF fittings??

Technology advances onward whether we like it or not.
