    Maybe have an end of season review, too. I remember that when people had painted their top sheets, the paint ended up having cracks given the boards flexing through time.

      @@SugmaDLigmaNutz keeping snow off the top sheet gets the weight off the top of the board, making it easier to stay on top of the powder and also helps you manuveur easier, also doing spins and flips with snow stuck to your board is harder.

    When I was working at Hayes Brothers Snowboards in 2004, Steve ran out of his top sheet material, and decided to try Petex bottom sheets pressed as top sheets. It had the same effect as this neverwet and nothing sticks to them. it also made for a really strong durable snowboard that had great uniform flex. I still have a couple boards laminated this way and they've held up well after hundreds of days of riding them since 2004.

    First test of my Snow Joe was a massive blizzard that dropped 20+ inches of snow with drifts well over 3ft. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN This snow thrower is definitely not designed for this much snow but it powered through it. We did have to knock down taller drifts with a shovel and at times the chute was awkward because snow banks were much higher than it could throw, but still much easier than shoveling. The plus side of the small size is the maneuverability. Easy to lift up to walkways and works in tight spaces near cars. Highly recommend.Note: after assembling it started but did not turn. The belt wasn't in place. Easy fix.

      They actually proved this works well on clothing and boots, from wet concrete, mud, sodas, oil, basically almost anything fluid. However the catch is it does stiffen the fabric a bit and it also breaks down faster on fabrics. 1 guy even treated the inside of his smartphone and it was waterproof. Try any of this at your own risk ⚠️

    • @cdeboer11
      @cdeboer11 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would be much more concerned about the sheen of oil from vehicles after a rain running straight into a waterway. A spray on solvent evaporates into the atmosphere which is what you should really be concerned about, not some micro levels of petroleum that get filtered through vegetation and dirt on a mountain side.

    • @jayhamilton7573
      @jayhamilton7573 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They have the same warning on marine coatings for boats. Release of the product itself into the environment isn't the same thing as exposing a surface with the finished application to the environment.

    • @relaxation80
      @relaxation80 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spraying is obviously not the same thing as dumping the liquid contents into the mountain side. Yes the finished product is more stable than the liquid/safety sheet form but just like marine coatings this will degrade over time and leech into the environment, the top sheet will get damaged, cracked etc and while a micro amount of this getting into the mountain side from one snowboard is no big deal year after year with more than one person they will add up over time eventually. Look at the xtc skiing and how they have banned floro wax, that did accumulate and has who knows what consequences for the the environment.
      We can't be perfect but we need to think ahead and be more responsible if we want future generations to enjoy what we do.

    Does it make the top sheet more slippery - if say you had it on a normal non-split board and didn't have a stomp pad?

    • @jacobiwolf77
      @jacobiwolf77 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you already don't ride with a stomp pad you probably don't need to worry about it being any more slippery, it's all about your balance

    I've heard these hydrophobic coatings are easy to rub off, so you have to be very careful when touching the board after application. I think the first ski test, where some snow stuck to the top, shows where you might have gripped the ski with your thumb. Great test, though.

      This was a cool experiment but would not recommend. It wears off way too fast, you only get 2-3 days out of it before its pretty much useless. Too much effort for the results and too wasteful with the chemicals

    @JasonEisenberg81 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hydrophoboic coating on the bindings (and bottom of the boots) would be even more useful! How many times have you gone to strap in after getting off a lift, and you can't close the straps because too much snow and ice is stuck between your boots and bindings?

    According to the Rustoleum NeverWet SDS the hydrophobic compound appears to be "Dimethyl silicone polymer". Now the wiki for that is under the umbrella term Polydimethylsiloxane. The environmental toxicity section says its not harmful to organisms but that's not all the ways in which it could be harmful. Also, different polymer lengths may have different issues. The polymers are not biodegradable and the smaller ones may be more toxic than the larger polymers (see SDS in third link). We don't know which polymer is in this product.

    • @seangilbert4681
      @seangilbert4681 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think this use case will end the world but toxic chemicals cause a myriad health issues and it is foolish not to consider them.
      I don't think it has PFAS based on the SDS in the first link from my sources. I didn't check all the chemicals from the base coat (as top coat is only propellants and the silicone polymer). However the base coat does have polymeric Benzotriazole which may have adverse affects and does have the ability to get into the water supply (see below). But it may be bound up in the base coat and less likely to be released by abrasion.
      From wiki: Benzotriazole is fairly water-soluble, not readily degradable and has a limited sorption tendency. Hence, it is only partly removed in wastewater treatment plants and a substantial fraction reaches surface water such as rivers and lakes.[12] It is considered to be of low toxicity and a low health hazard to humans although exhibiting some antiestrogenic properties.[
