Abstract
Froth is formed and transplanted on top of dye-containing solution to trace liquid flow. Sufficiently stable froth was formed with soap but with frothers (1-pentanol and polypropylene glycol) talc was necessary to produce transportable froth. With the soap froth liquid penetration was faster than for the talc-stabilized froth.
