Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.>>>>>

Not so sure... you need it to be also insulating so it can reflect the heat radiated by the covered body. Sprayed on in such a thin layer I expect its insulation factor to be negligible.
