Some creative thinkers discovered that NeverWet — a superhydrophobic spray-on coating that makes liquid roll off any surface — works wonderfully as a way to create secret sidewalk art that can only be activated by water.
If you want to create some sneaky street art, then find a concrete sidewalk (or driveway), lay down a stencil, and spray it with NeverWet. After the NeverWet coating dries and rainfall comes, voila! The stenciled pattern stays dry and becomes highly visible on the soaked sidewalk. The element of surprise may vary on surfaces aside from concrete, as NeverWet dries with a somewhat frosted appearance.
