Thanks! I have a wood burning project and I just ran out of wood stain. Have a giant pot of cheap instant coffee granules and now I have a finished box and I didn't need to go to the hardware store.

I used this method on my acoustic guitar today, and it worked incredibly well! I did it in little strips, and after about half an hour of working on it she went from a clean light spruce top to the very rustic antique look that I wanted. Going to put a thin layer of clear satin poly on top of it then it'll be good to go by Thursday. I was really afraid to do the coffee stain at first but your video gave me a little more confidence. Thanks!

I love the way the instant coffee stain looks on the stir sticks. What a great color. And you gave me an idea to use the same stain in distressing some things in our haunted house. Thank you for sharing.

Ok to I'm trying stain this resin wood tray I'm making and dont want to use actually stain, will this bleed when you set cups on it that have condensation? Like if water spills on it?

Do you think mixing the coffee grounds with pure alcohol would work? Alcohol would evaporate instantly and leave the wood only with the coffee and would allow using any kind of laquer or varnish etc. since using water-based stain with oil-based finish and so on would not mix.

If it's a large wooden crate I want to use it on, is it even necessary to use a heat gun for it, since the wood isn't flimsy like your dollhouse floor?

Can it be used on clay or paper mache or only unfinished wood?
