$1,000 Spray Makes Gadgets Waterproof

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-thank-god-for-that dept.

Rio writes "A new $1,000 spray claims to protect notebook computers, iPods, cell phones and other electronic gadgets from liquid, making them completely waterproof, a Local6.com report says. A creator of the technology said it could be used for emergency first-responders, bio-medical devices and historic preservation." This might be a bit of a flashback from last year.

  1. Not a Spray by stoolpigeon · · Score: 5, Informative

    The FAQ for the Golden Shellback (what they call this stuff) site says:"9. What aspects confuse people most about this process:
    a. People get confused and think this is a spray. It is not, the coating needs to be applied in a piece of equipment.
    b. People seem to wonder a lot about the contacts and how they are sealed. The contacts are not, the surfaces are sealed. So, water can run in and out.
     
     
    That right there ought to deal with a lot of the statements and questions that are about to be made in this thread.
