A couple of MIT researchers decided to tackle the problem of getting that last drop of sticky substance out of a bottle. They came up with a spray-on coating called LiquiGlidie which creates a greased pan-like surface allowing viscous liquids of all kinds to slide with ease.
Turns out there are many applications for this technology and lots and lots of money to be saved on ensuring things go smoothly.
Makes taking a dump real easy too. You don’t even need toilet paper.
I’m an MIT alum and I had this idea about 40 years ago but alas my major was physics, not surface chemistry.
I won’t need to waste a gallon of hot water rinsing out a salad dressing container for recycling. Yay!
Hmmm. Combined with one of the new hydrophobic coatings and you’ll never need to buy windshield wipers again.
@Quinn – Rinse out a salad dressing container just for recycling? Heck, that’s what used paper napkins are for!
Oh I thought you were trying to attract gluten-free readers.
They have something similar for fabric as well. Saw that video about a year ago.
Another unnecessary chemical to add to our diets.
10 years from now the chemical compound will be proven toxic and we are all going to die.
I’d spray that stuff on the wifes leather recliner.
Will it help to drain the swamp?
once swamp is drained, apply liberally.
Man, that stuff’s slicker’n snot on a doorknob!
🙂
Any second now, they’ll add Pomegranate or Acai Berry to it.
“Man, that stuff’s slicker’n snot on a doorknob!”
Vietvet, I heard a caller say that on Rush Limbaugh a few months ago after Rush offered him a free iPhone.
Didn’t Sparky spray that on his sled during Christmas Vacation? Seemed to work out real well.
MJAnklepants, can I interest you in 20,000 gallons of Monavie? Heh.
manbearpig and ? have a point.
One decade’s miracle material is the next decade’s nightmare.
Think asbestos, freon, phthalates, saccharine, cyclamate, trans fats…..
DH must have used that on the bench seat of his Sunliner back when we were dating. 🙂 Those left turns sent me flying into him. They were more fun than bucket seats and seat belts.
@Corona: I got another “slicker than” comparison involving snot that’s better than that one, but it’s kinda crude.
I think WD40 does the same thing.
Jethro, Maybe, but W39 sucked.
@BBrad ~ maybe you’re applying it to the wrong spot … 😛
the corporations will never put this in their products … unless it becomes a means to charge us more
they like the waste of the part that sticks … means more trips to the store & more product sold
