question about coffee and glue filler

[Dennis Simmons]

When you mix coffee and glue, do you use new coffee, or do you dry your used coffee

[Curt Fuller]

Either one works fine. For as little as you use, I think it's easier to just use some fresh stuff rather that go to the trouble of drying out the used grinds.

[David E Keller]

I hope the new grounds work better since I never acquired a taste for coffee... I'd hate to think that I had to brew it, throw out all the dirty water, and then dry the grounds just to get a void filled properly!

Keller, this is heresy!!!! The good Lord put coffee beans and chocolate here for pure pleasure!! Using the by-product for crack filler is just a bonus!

[David E Keller]

Perhaps I have a double appreciation for chocolate... Besides, diet Coke is obviously a product of divine intervention(all the great caffeine with the added bonus of bubbles)!

It helps being Dutch , when my coffee grind is getting low I just pick the filter paper with the coffee grind in it and take it to the shop, set it down on a block and let it dry, when dry it goes into a small container for when I need it, easy and I do like to have the use of the ground coffee beforehand

I have used some instant coffee to add color to shavings and sanding dust. For some larger gaps, I have dampened the shavings/dust/coffee mix with DNA before mixing with 5 minute epoxy. It makes the mix a little thinner, but fills the gaps including small cracks and still finishes well with my oil/poly finish.

And, yes... you must use fresh coffee. Sacrifices must be made in the name of "high art"... Sorry!

One of my favorite SMC threads of all time... I was wrong not to defer to DD immediately with any coffee related concerns.

Ask me if I am surprised that a guy from California would suggest getting art "high".....

[Don Alexander]

ok Ken hehe are you surprised?

How do you guys avoid bubbles in the epoxy? Every time I've tried to use it to fill voids, I find tiny pits (from bubbles) in the finished product.

[Mike Stephens]

I dry out used grounds. Use recycle reuse.

Dan, when I have used epoxy for filling a recess or crack, after taking a light cut to level the area, I will mix just a very small dab of 5 minute epoxy and with a painter's spatula, fill those air bubbles. Seems to work fine.
