DIY Tea Wood Stain Booster! 

I realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?

@Jairo Melvin i would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)

@@jairomelvin4707 why are you even asking here???????

awesome! glad you like it

did it work? I'm about to do a ceiling and I'd sure like to know before I start.

+Dandypanty Sorry I forgot to mix them! ;D I did them separately. I was testing on a small piece of scrap wood, sadly dunno what type of wood it is, but that kinda wood seems to have lotsa tannins(tea increases this matter to wood) So, the one I stained with vinegar-steel solution turned black and the one with tea-bag in 1/5 cup hot water, just became a little bit darker. Both seemed to belong to Darth Vader though ;D Anyways do your own testing, I was only after staining small pieces of wood for a tiny speaker box. I do not recommend mixing them though. Since I realized that the job of tea there is to increase wood tannins, the matter that reacts to vinegar-steel/iron(iron acetate) by turning into dark color. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron%28III%29_acetate#Uses www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-own-Iron-AcetateHomemade-Stain/ Heat vinegar in a glass jar until it boils then take it off heat and drop steel wool i, works faster. Do not use the stainless steel wool, it won't work, you get a red solution and I dunno what it is. Leave it for 24 hours Good luck

I think that would work too. You can also apply the tea after applying the stain. It's easy and inexpensive enough to experiment with it a bit to see what happens.

are they different types of wood, he's telling you what the results are with different types of wood

I wonder if those are similar to shoe stain like the video I did a little while back?

MrDiyDork the liquid kind? Probably but gives you a lot more color options, great for kid projects.

No tannin in coffee

Because people who make you tube videos think it makes their videos more exciting but actually, it's just annoying.

did you sand your wood down to bare wood or is there any kind of finish on the wood?

Dandypanty THANK YOU FOR REPLY😊 Wood is sanded. I added a bit of water to the homemade stain then it became darker. I'm now trying concentrated cranberry juice. I just cleaned off the sticky so have to let try. I dont know how to send pictures on RU-vid.

Kathryn Ellison make a video or send on Google hangouts.

Dandypanty will do by not for a few days...working on Xmas presents.

+KE Maybe you used stainless steel wool, it won't work. Try regular steel wool. And heat vinegar until it boils in a glass jar(maybe inside a pot with water). Try Choir Boy (Brass Wool), it ain't iron acetate though nor copper acetate, it is zinc acetate[I think] but colors dark gray/black) Or try the kind different kind of steel wools, the kind that look like wire mesh not coils. c8.alamy.com/comp/BHFXHF/steel-wool-scouring-pad-BHFXHF.jpg And test on dry scrap wood

Your steel wool might have wax or oil on it, preventing the vinegar solution from being able to react with it. You could try washing your steel wool in soapy water before adding it to the vinegar, to remove any wax or oil residue. Also make sure your wood isn't finished; any kind of varnish or sealer on the wood will repel the acetate solution.

So far... copper pipes.

I did Hibiscus, it turned kinda light red. (without tea bag trick), maybe higher concentration of vinegar like %15 or more works better. I also have not ground it, just dried leaves, nor did I heat the vinegar before dropping it inside it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus Maybe red chili powder works the same, ain't sure. (spicy wood) ;D

Why when you can make them naturally and cheap!
