CMV: Shoes should come pre-dipped in a hydrophobic liquid

So the main argument against this I am expecting is the argument of monetary incentive.

- It would cost money for a company to make their shoes longer-lasting (two opposing forces since people would buy fewer shoes)

However, I would be willing to buy more of a company if I knew they were longer-lasting, one of the main reasons I don't buy nice shoes is because I know they will get ruined so quickly, however, I would be willing to pay a higher price for premium shoes if they lasted longer and looked pristine for longer.

Also, the price of hydrophobic material could be greatly reduced since a lot of it is wasted in spray, if you had it in liquid form you could dip shoe after shoe with minimal wastage and also use very little simultaneously.

Also, the longer people can wear your shoes the more they will talk about how long they last and how good they are creating free advertisements.

Edit: I never said all shoes, I said there should be an option of pre dipped hydrophobic shoes, the reason for this is because any attempt with spray or anything else is imperfect and tedious.

I have officially changed my view, thank you to everyone who contributed.

Why is my pot hydrophobic where it contacts the range grill?

pic of the pot

pic of the range

This is the pot in the sink after being washed and rinsed. You can see the water collects in a pattern that matches that of the range. The pot is steel anodized aluminium. The bottom of the pot is flat and uniform to touch. The pot is cool.

Edit: Been reading the responses. Unfortunately I'm out of town for a while and can't get any more info from the pot. I do not think it has to do with any seasoning/oil buildup as a lot of theories suggest.

It should be noted that I'm a pretty good chef and I do have degrees in physics and materials science.

A few facts:

  • I do not orient the pot the same way every time.
  • The pot has been used on many different ranges throughout its life.
  • The pot is used exclusively for water and stock. It is tall and wide. I do not see how oil could so evenly coat the bottom as to season it.
  • When dry, the pattern is invisible. I believe I would be able to tell if parts of it were seasoned. I have seasoned many pieces of cast iron cookware, and a direct flame is not how that is accomplished. The pattern cannot be detected by sight or by touch.
  • The fact that it matches the pattern suggests that the pattern is determined by the most recent use.
  • The bottom of the pan is uniformly flat. This is not to say there aren't possible differences in texture along the pattern, but I can't detect any. It is to say that there aren't bumps or dents in the bottom that match the pattern.
  • This pot is the only one that is made of this material in my kitchen. Other cookware is stainless steel, copper, enamel, or aluminium. This pot is the only one with the phenomenon.

I really do think this is a heat deformation or oxidation symptom. The dark circle in the middle of the pan, and the metal-metal contact, to me hint at this - that the pattern is a direct correlation to temperature of the bottom in specific areas.

Again, I do not think the seasoning theory is correct. Not to mention that this is my only cookware that has this pattern. If the oil theory was true then they would all have the pattern. This is, however, my only piece of cookware of this material type.

Any theories about transfer of substance from the rack needs to account for why the center of the pot matches the rack pattern

Edit 2: These answers make the most sense to me. I know my kitchen, I don't think enough grease is getting on the bottom of the pot to create

Organic hydrophobic soil solutions

Hi everyone first time grower here. I believe I have hydrophobic soil, when I mixed my soil together I didn’t water it and it sat for a little under a week before I planted my seed and watered it in. I’ve been told that could have caused the soil to turn hydrophobic. I have found it impossible to not get run off. I haven’t watered in 3 days and just started slowly watering, I watered 500ml earlier and went back out to water the second lot of 500ml (been watering in 500ml increments over a few hours) and there is already quite a bit of run off in the tray. My plant and cover crop seem extremely happy as far as I can tell and my soil always appear moist not wet or dry. Struggling to find a hydrophobic solution for organic living soil that I have access to. All help welcome! I have also heard that with time and regular watering the soil should just stop being hydrophobic? But then is it okay to just get run off for the time being until that happens? I’m so confused! πŸ˜‚

Thanks!

Make peanut butter containers rectangles AND the inside hydrophobic for fucks sake!

About goddamn tired of getting peanut butter on my hands scraping the bottom and about goddamn tired of having to clean out these containers before recycling them. Rectangle containers will be wide enough to allow it to be shorter and contain the same amount of product. The Japanese have hydrophobic containers, why can't we?!?!

Get on this shit Jif. You goddamn assholes.

edit: I've been corrected. It's OLEOPHOBIC for oil based things. Thanks /u/abrahamlemon.

Super hydrophobic material

Hi guys,

I was wondering if you know any material that is flexible like cotton but that is super hydrophobic. A material that has a water contact angle of greater than 150ΒΊ. I know there are some sprays that make any material water resistant but I was wondering if there is an actual material with those qualities. Sprays wear off eventually so they are not that great. Thanks.

The ideal material would be something that can be used to make clothing. Thanks.

How to safely make a stainless steel sink hydrophobic.

The kitchen sink is one of the most prominent fixtures in your home. If you keep it clean, it will have a positive effect on every aspect of home life. The following is a brief guide on how to make stainless steel hydrophobic so that it is trivial to maintain.

Before reading, see the results for yourself: https://youtu.be/1FSbLFjZmFY

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by anyone, nor do I expect to be paid by anyone. This video and article were created entirely by myself for fun and learning.

What's the first step? Clean the sink of detectable dirt and oil using any method. I use Ajax and heavy duty scrubbing sponge. You know the sink is clean when water sticks to the steel instead of beading up. The reason this happens is because stainless steel has a very high surface energy. If you cannot get the steel this clean in 5 minutes, do not worry, just move on to the next step.

If there is rust or stains that are not too deep, carefully use sand paper to remove it. Use 320-grit to 600-grit for satin finish and 1500-grit or higher for mirror finishes. WARNING: Skip this step if you are unsure what kind of finish your sink has!

Water sticks to the sink now, so how do you make the opposite happen? The answer is oil, but not just any oil, Tall oil, a strong, yet safe oil from pine trees. The product I use is Brasso. It claims to clean, polish, and protect. I cannot testify to the first two claims, however it does appear to protect. Just rub it on the steel with a rag, then buff it off. The oil coated stainless steel has a surface energy much lower, so water is much less able to adhere to it.

As you can see in the video, water beads up very nicely. Even better, is this protective coating does not wash off easily. I've scrubbed it with (separately) Ajax, ammonia, vinegar, and soap, all of which fail to remove the oil. The only way I know to remove the oil is with sand paper. Even though the coating is durable, I recommend drying the sink after every use and buffing it periodically.

If you have any questions, I will answer them within 24 hours. Stories and anecdotes and suggestions and corrections are also welcome.

TL;DR

  1. Remove dirt and oil
  2. Remove rust and stains (optional)
  3. Polish with Brasso or similar product
  4. Buff

Notes:

  • Wax works in place of oil, however I did not get as
