Very interesting. Now if they could make a version that could withstand a bit more pressure...

What could we accomplish with something like that?

They said it didn't work on cars because of the pressure and that it only works a couple of inches underwater. Rubbing it off doesn't, apparently, take too much time either.
A more durable product seems like it would be more useful.

Also, I want this on books.

Makes sense.

...are you going to go swimming with your books?

I was thinking of taking a bath, but swimming would be cool as well

Lol! A bath makes more sense.
