    It almost looks like someone use an eye dropper rather than it came from rain or a hose.

    That's what it looked like to me when I first saw the picture and zoomed in on it.

    I’m with John U. Those are some nice shadows which tells me those babies have some height to them. They look nice.

    Great! They look to rise above surface rather than lay tight to surface yet still clump the water bead

    Something tells me Mike will reveal the product which is making these beads and when he does, will be a surprise to us all.

    I agree, nice looking symmetrical beads all around.

    Correctamundo.....

    Please - don't no one be mad - I did this just for fun.


    For my big 3-day detailing classes, this one - I go to Dunkin Donuts at 5:30am to pick up mixed donuts, munchkins, bagels, cream cheese and a Box of Joe. I don't really need the Box of Joe but with it you get top notch, quality HOT paper cups that hold the right amount of coffee for my Keurig Coffee Machine. Plus a bunch of guys don't like fancy coffee (Peet's Coffee), and the Box of Joe goes pretty quick. Win/Win for everyone.

    Monday morning, after the class and before I tested Kirby for his IDA Skills Validation Test, I saved a Bagel and some Dunkin Cream Cheese Spread from Sunday. I placed both in my Dorm Fridge in my office. I sliced the Bagel open and toasted in the Bagel Toaster. Next I opened the half-empty tub of cream cheese and placed the lid [upside down of course] on my desk and proceeded to use a knife to shmear some cream cheese onto my toasty warm bagel to wolf-down with my coffee before getting to work.

    As I was wolfing-down the bagel and coffee I looked at the upside down lid off the tub of cream cheese and low and behold - it had damn near perfect water beading from the condensation that formed overnight.



    So I took the picture I started this thread with because I thought it would be funny. Here's the original pictures I shared to start this thread.




    And then took this picture for context...





    Hey - don't we all LOVE WATER BEADING!!!!!!!
