With the right formulation of material, a quick drying spray
from an aerosol can could be sprayed on your feet each
morning and dry to a comfortable pair of socks that would
last
the whole day and could be peeled off and discarded. No
more laundry. Comes in different colors. Great to take
on
trips. Saves space. Eliminates sorting and matching. Argyle
perhaps?

(?) How about some nice, warm, paraffin socks?

I'd imagine it'd be uncomfortable to peel those socks off for anyone with any amount of hair on their feet. Yikes! |

spray-on wool, like silly string - instant knitting |
|
|
Well, I like the instant knitting idea, I have been working so hard on christmas gifts, I can't feel my fingers anymore. |

[Raven] I think this sort of thing has been done before - Olivia Newton-John, Grease. |

Good find, DeGroof. I knew I'd seen this somewhere before... |

<3 this idea. The sock would be a perfect fit and
have no gaps so it would keep stuff away from
your foot much better than a normal sock. |
|
|
The material would need to be really flexible and
hug the foot though. Otherwise it would come
away if you flexed your foot too much. |
|
|
Only downside is that youd probably go through a
lot of cans. So you could have a vat of the stuff
that you could just dip your feet in and then it
would dry really quickly just for home. And then
keep a couple of cans for out-and-about. |
|
|
You'd need a rubber band to hold them onto your lower leg, unless you can somehow spray elastic. I still think this is a really cool idea! |

But, if only he had spray on socks... |
