Default Coffee Stain Experient Update

Wed, Mar 15, 2006, 8:11am (EST-3) (Andy) doth
query:
It looks good, a nice coffee color.
Very interesting - I'm all for reducing toxicity. Do you have any

experience
with coffee- (or tea-) stained wood fading if exposed to sunlight?


Good question. No. That made me think about setting the test
piece outside. But, I won't be using it for any outdoor projects, and
it might be water soluable. So, I think I'll just sit it on my truck
dash. I'll try to update in about a month.

Also, I wonder if coffee could be dissolved in 1-lb shellac to make a
non-grain-raising colored finish.


So, read the sig, then try it and find out..
