After you open a can, you must use it as fast as possible as it sets up quickly, and polymerizes. The result does anything but slip, though. It doesn't strike me as being that comfortable as footwear. | |

Normally used for "dip and then slowly withdraw" tool handles to coat them in a thick layer of liquid rubbery substance, I've no doubt it would turn a pair of socks into a pair of slippers in no time at all! | |
