Thread: Another Tele Strat hybrid..

    Only a matter of days but what you say does make sense. Hopefully you’re right and once properly cured there is no problem with it.

    Agreed, give it enough time and I'm sure you will be fine. I'd say at least two weeks before heavy handling, I give it that before assembly, but for polishing I think it needs longer.

    Hi Andy, You will need lots & lots of tea to get any colour showing up as stain on a maple neck.

    I used very strong concentration of Tea that was left to brew for a week on the Swampcaster (Build #5) and thank goodness I had the rust solution for it to react with because on its own there was not much happening. Coffee seems to work better on its own.

    As always, testing on scrap timber is recommended, and please remember to gamble responsibly!

    Cheers, Waz

    Thanks Waz, I'll give it a go. I just want to take the whiteness out of the timber, not looking for a huge change really.

    Hi Andy, I have dug up some before & after shots before adding the rust stain solution that hopefully give you some idea of how much stain effect Tea might have.....

    24 hours later once fully dried.

    Hope this helps in some way.
