Drops: Here a canvas is laid horizontal and drops are placed on the canvas at specified locations from specified distances and of specified sizes using medical syringes. The canvas is then tipped within the gravitational field and paint flows or not. In 80 and 81 drops are applied at random modeled with a number generator and applied at the canvas (80) and by hand from 6 feet (81) each to approach the percolation threshold (P~0.6). The first is then inclined.
