Lord Ferguson Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think they might turn a bit soggy Marky if its quite damp.... \ Ummm... yes I suppose it will Jason.... \ I am sure that coffee will be hydroscopic anyway (is that the right word... I mean draw up water from the air) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 not a bad idea that marky, we use big sealed bags of the stuff in the green boxes you see by the road, draws in all the condensation, will have to bring some home , i have a mix of fine expresso coffee and a thicker plunger one and they mix lovley, have made a great texture to use, leaves all the tyre tracks in the lot, going to need a fair bit though so might be a while before i can get a good pic,as this only covers a smallish area at mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be good as the base then sprinkle some loose on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
