my 2c
to get an even coat water down / thin down what ever you are using and stick it in a pump spray bottle, like what you would spray fertilizer with. works with paints, varnishes, liquid latex lots of stuff... all you need is a spray booth. (i peg garment on clothes line and blast it)
i commissioned a wholesaler in hk to coat a few hundred yards of drill for me, they added a micro film of latex and its awesome. it looks and feels like wax but isnt as temperamental.. not gonna come off on yer sofa etc. it is completly crap to work with though the coating builds up on the machine needle and makes stuff go wrong
the wax m lowry mentioned is fun to use, products like sno seal applied to areas to look like you have been working in some trade the butcher the baker the candlestick maker type thing and even though it still feels greasy it doesnt rub off on other stuff
and spray cans,, random stuff from the hardware store not just paints, stuff you can spray on and itll make a big greasy smelly mess but then you wash it and itll leave a nice stain and or coating

This was our first attempt, so it's a bit sloppy but we learned a lot... I think if we ever do it again we'll mix the silicon with some paint thinner or try to use a lot less (we went a little heavy as you can see).

I wax coated some cheap grey jeans I had. In the end, the mixture ended up a bit thicker than I'd have wanted but after wearing the jeans a few times, they've softened up. They turned out great though, they are often mistaken for leather.
I dont know if I should just post them here or start a thread as these jeans are not my last coating venture."If you want to tell the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you."
