What would happen if you spray a bucket with hydrophobic spray and put water in it?

I desperately want to know what you were imagining might happen when you asked this question.

A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.

That’s basically what you get, but the distance from each wall is about an atom thick.

Hey, that atom thick distance allows the water to not stick to the coating.
