Rustoleum Never Wet

[zachssoojdm]

Saw this cool new thing called Rustoleum Never Wet. I started thinking about ways this could possibly help us in brewing? Of course the video shows us how to make an ice chest that doesn't get wet using ice that could melt. I thought about covering my keezer with it or covering things that carry beer such as six packs, or bags, and etc. Or if you spray the inside of your back pack, then you have an instant water proof portable ice chest. What are your opinions and ideas?

This was talked about in another thread a while back. The stuff is cool, except that once sunlight or uv light hits it it degrades and stops working. But I never tried the stuff myself so I could be full of sh#t.....

Sounds like an idea for the inside of the ferm chamber. That way any spills clean up easy and makes it harder for it to grow fuzzies. It is quite the humid environment after all.

Two by Two, Hands of Blue!

So I'm wondering why that guy felt the need to wear blue latex gloves to pour some mustard and chocolate syrup on this other dude's shirt. I mean, come on!f

And what's with the other guy?? He had his eyes clenched tight like he thought the blue hand guy was going to squirt mustard in his eyes!

Seems like this could be useful for brewing somehow, but I'd have to think some more on just how.

haha I see what you mean! what about spraying down a barrel, 2nd coat first, first coat second to protect your homebrew to going to the angels?

 

[zachssoojdm]

like vice-versa so it works from the opposite way

I think, without further evidence, that I would not want this in contact with any portion of homebrew that will eventually be consumed.

I could see spraying your shoes with it, to keep sticky wort from soaking in...

I've really been tempted to spray everything I wear on brew day with the stuff.

Not brewing related, but a few of my fishing buddies spray it in a ziplock bag, throw dry flies in, shake the bag, and have a dry fly that just won't sink. Works great.

Hmm... I could see sneaking up on someone you don't like and spraying them in the mouth so they can't ever taste beer again...

I 100% agree. It's not made to be in contact with food products and as such it's entirely possible it could be very hazardous for your health when used in such a way. The acidity of beer makes it even more of a possibility than with just regular water, too.

I like the idea of coating the inside of a keezer, as I believe someone mentioned. Or a freezer used as a ferm chamber... basically any freezer that's temp-controlled for above-freezing temps, as the condensation inside can get pretty outrageous (even with Damp Rid), fairly quickly causing rust and even mold/mildew. The latter of which could be helped by the increased ease of drying a hydrophobic surface with a quick wipe from a towel, which normally can't completely dry a wet surface and does an even poorer job when you happen to be bent over into a chest freezer with kegs/fermentors still in it, and trying to quickly wipe it down.
