Build Your Own SLA/SLS

Has anyone tried using a hydrophobic coating like neverwet in their resin tank?

I'm curious how it might affect the adheasion of the resin to the tank itself... because the resin SHOULD just bead up on top of the coating... meaning if you calibrated your build platform correctly, you might be able to take advantage of this effect and get a LOT less suction force when printing.

I just thought about that while I was at Menards last week. I was going to purchase a can to try out, but when I looked up reviews it said it dried to a foggy clear. I figured I'd hold off and find a brand that dried clear. I'm curious to know if someone has tried it.
