Wow what magic looking stuff. It does say that it works on clothing so probably so yes.

Does dry to a translucent white colour though so the ct colour scheme would change

I was wondering the same thing after seeing this video some time ago. I would like to know how it goes after being out in the sun for extended periods.
It really does look amazing though :)

Could see some fun being had with apprentice painters....
Reminds me of the techs showing newbs the "Golden Rivet" in the telephone exchange.
Not that I ever did that of course......

I think this stuff came up on a thread before. As mentioned, I recall it is quite expensive and made up of some pretty nasty ingredients.

EverDry is toxic. NeverWet is possibly better - http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=30731.0
