Thats so cool! I think I saw that once in a chem class xD
Either way, seeing it was so cool my jaw basically dropped haha.
If you put that stuff on a tail, you'd probably see air bubbles all along the surface of it, since it'd
be repelling the water to a degree. Like when birds go underwater they still have air along their
feathers?

Michelle - hahaha yea! That's a totally awesome idea xD

I wonder if that would make you faster in the water?

Super cool! I think all of us would love to do a science experiment with mer stuffs and this to see what happens in the water. Quite curious myself!

That stuff is really cool! I want to buy like a whole case of it now and spray all my clothes down. XD I would be interested to see how it would behave on a tail though.

Also, if the tail doesn't get wet, will you overheat in it? :\ Or have any kind of temperature issues?

maybe if you used it on a silver-ish tail, or something like a trout or silverfish, it would give the tail an AWESOME silvery sheen under water, making the scales look a little like quick silver. I remember being fascinated while snorkling and seeking a school of silver fish swim in their little ball and when the light hit them they would look like little mirrored lights ^.^

I wonder if it would help lessen the water intake and 'greying' look that alex tails get when they have been in water too long.. hmmmm...
