What's the best way to get water to bead on skin?
And if you could provide sources, please? Thanks in advance. Feb 06 06 05:52 pm Link Vaseline is kind of heavy, but would do the trick. Feb 06 06 05:53 pm Link try applying a very thin coat of baby oil....if that too shiny try tea tree oil or some other patroleum based prduct..the water will bead...but..it will also want to move.. You can also add some soap to your water, this will increase the natuarl occurring surface tension of the water and give it a stickier property.. Good luck..

It is a sugar-water mixture, so be prepared to have a sticky model afterwards. Feb 06 06 06:00 pm Link Looknsee Photography wrote: Water and baby oil in a pump spray bottle. Shake, spray, shoot.
