Has anyone used this/ seen this?

the SDS isn't very helpful as the main ingredient is proprietary, I'm guessing it is just PTFE or some other fluorinated polymer. the price/volume is pretty attractive though

Still looks a little spendy imo, though.

Seems cheaper than this stuff from byFormica which I paid $35 on Amazon. So $28 for a 3.5 ounces spray which could be brushed on as well is better than 3 of these .33 ounce little things, I say. I'd say go for it. cea25c1c4a9cc405ae919598f2235f82.jpg

I just use baby powder at the moment, as the species I keep either aren't escape artists or their colonies are small (mostly the former, though).

I have plenty of the ByFormica fluon, so I don't need anything at the moment, but I would imagine a spray bottle would be too inaccurate and spread out to use for outworlds. I mean it would work, but you would have a lot of excess spray and it would be more unsightly than a band of fluon or baby powder.

You could spray it on a cloth and spread it in the outworld that way.

Yes you can. Or dip a brush in the bottle and apply a small 1 inch band. Sounds good still.
