The reason you have to cut it is because the basecoat makes a thin polymer layer for the hydrophobic layer to assemble on. This layer is continuous so you can tear it up. It also has pretty crappy chemical resistance, iirc. I think it has to do with poor basecoat adhesion.

I picked up some "Rustoleum NeverWet" from the local hardware store and sprayed it on a few microscope slides to see what I could do with it. I tried taping off small regions, but the coat just peels off when I try to remove them. Just cutting out some shapes with a razor blade and another slide to make a clean edge worked nicely, probably because it is so easy to peel off. Here are a couple of pictures showing the resulting slide. I'm hoping this is useful, perhaps when sandwiched together?--Luis
