WOW. Thanks! That is almost more then I need to know.lol. But what I do need to know is when some of these water drop shots say they use glycerin are they mixing it with water to some degree or are they using the straight glycerin?

We used to mix it with water, I think 2:1 or 3:1. You need to experiment, with the particular surface you are working on and the size of droplets you want both affecting the optimum mixture. Been a LONG time since I used it.

Thank you bear_music. You have been very helpful. I can't remember which photo I looked at that said it. I think it was one where the drops were scattered over glass or something and reflecting something in each drop. I thought the glycerin was used to make them stay and not run. Sometimes there are shots I want to do where water is to light in volumn so I was looking for an alternative.
