If I used that on my kayak, it could easily just slip out of my grasp and glide away.

Good way to get rid of that annoying paddle drip.

If you use that on your kayak you think the seas would part and you would sink straight to the bottom

Great idea! I think I'll try that. My Ultimate always has a puddle in it from paddle drip

I think that DaveR should be the official P-F tester for this product.

Not a good idea for windshields. It leaves a film.

I can see a thousand home uses for this stuff. Like the shower walls. Would never have to clean them again. Thanks for posting.

Just bought some and sprayed the paddle will give an update. You can't use it on glass because when it dries it leaves a haze.

I did my paddle this weekend and had it out on the water this Sunday. This stuff works great. Its a two part process, one can is the base layer, takes 30 minutes to dry. The second can is the sealer. It comes in either frosty or clear. I mistakenly got the frosty one, but since I was doing my bright ornage paddle, thought no biggie. I applied two coats of the sealer, waiting 30 minutes on each. I then let it dry over night. They say it can be exposed to water 30 minutes after the last coat (which I did breifly) but its best to wait 12 to 24 hours.

The results were.......AWESOME. No drip at all. You can see an envelop of air surround the paddle while making a stroke, its pretty cool.

I'll try to take a video this afternoon and get it posted. Now the question is how long will it last, and can the cans be reused. There was a note about the nozzles clogging. Be warned, do this in a well ventilated area as this stuff is strong.

Next project, WADERS.
