Joyce, You'll find lots of info on layering if you "search"
it in this forum.....here's a copy  of one of them I wrote a while back...
First, don't be intimidated by layering. It really is quite simple and only 
requires a steady hand along w/ some knowledge of what will layer on top of 
each other (liquor weights), so don't feel like you are going to mess up a 
lot....you won't. Secondly, there isn't a need for you to purchase any alcohol 
to practice. Just walk to your kitchen. Hmmmmmm...let's see...got milk? got 
oil? (olive or whatever) Then take your shot glass, pour some milk in, then 
take a spoon and place it inside the glass on top of the milk layer....(some 
prefer the spoon convexed...some concaved)...now steadily pour the oil on the 
spoon and as you do slowly lift the spoon to keep up w/ the rising level of 
the shot....Viola'! 
You just layered!......Don't stop here....get out all kinds of stuff and 
experiment...juices, karo syrup, honey, vinegar, yoohoo,.....whatever....they 
all have different weights just like liquors......then when you feel confident 
look up some layered recipes, go buy the ingredients and you are on your 
way....if you get tired of the kitchen, head for the bathroom for liquid 
handsoap, shampoo, cologne,......(ha) 
Happy layering! 
Cheryl
