<p>Hi Steve, another nice video! Thanks for posting the link.</p>

<p>I like the frosted beer bottle in "ice". I've never worked with either the ice or the frost featured in the video. Very realistic. However, the water drips on the bottle don't look quite natural to my eye. On a real ice/frost bottle, the water tracks leave a clear path as they melt the frost on their way down. I wonder if that could be duplicated by using something to remove the artificial frost for the drip trails? I guess what I'm asking is, is that frost easy to remove? Could it be removed by a pencil eraser or some other device to form a trail?</p>

<p>Hi Mark,<br>

In honesty, this was the first time I tried using the Frost Effects spray and I over-sprayed a second light coat of Frost Effect on two glycerin rivulets above the label. I mentioned in the video that if I were trying it for a client (instead of the video demo) I would probably prepare two dozen (or more) bottles of beer with differing amounts of the frost spray on each. A light coat could probably be removed with a Q-Tip dipped in water (or an eraser as you suggest) followed by a rivulet of glycerin running down through the area where the spray had been removed (you'd need to experiment). If I tried that I might even use a carefully flagged flash head beneath the bottle to make the brown glass bottle more translucent and glowy. The next video I have scheduled for Set Shop is how to light a shot glass of scotch (I'm going to call it "A Shot of Scotch"..:)) where I intend to experiment some more and maybe even try another beer bottle. Regardless, the Frost Effect product worked well enough in the demo image that I feel it is worth exploring. I'm glad the Frost Effect spray got both of us to thinking!<br>

<p>Thanks, Steve. I really like the effect. Definitely something for me to experiment with. Looking forward to "A Shot of Scotch"!</p>

<p>Thanks again,<br>

<p>That's a kind of a lost in translation thing. In my language Mister and Master are the same word in the meaning 'mastering/being superior in craft/statute' (difficult to express thisin English for me). So it's my own form of recongnition when I use Mr. Sint instead of just Steve :-)</p>
