Your coating Semblance wouldn't really be altering the surface tension, more like putting a bouyant platform on it; like if Weiss were to use her Glyphs to walk on water. Depending on whether or not it needs to be able to form a complete coating to work properly, you may or may not be able to use it for a Jesus impression.

I actually have a character whose Semblance manipulates surface tension; Kekoa Tambor. He primarily uses it with his weapon, a staff with bladed rings on it that acts as a gigantic bubble wand (and also a dragon staff, for fire dancing; the family business).

By manipulatng surface tension, he can harden those very very flimsy bubbles, turning them effectively into solid objects. The bubble solution he fills the staff with is comprised partially of Fire Dust, and they explode violently when popped; so by increasing surface tension he can use them sort of like aerial mines and projectiles.
