  1. ss– The drop slowly soaks into the wood sample after deposition.
  2. qs()– The drop quickly soaks into the wood sample after deposition. First measured WCA value is given in bracket.
  3. nm– Not measured, the drop quickly soaks into the wood sample during deposition.
  4. r– The drop runs off the surface of the wood sample after deposition.
