When I do something I do it BIG!!!!
I would be surprised if there were a mistake we have NOT made. This is one of my favorites that has not been solved, by us. I believe it relates to temp and humidity and therefore, curing time. Cause lots of people swear this works (round pipes). Well, I have used the transfer punches and wooden dowling, usually get the blanks OUT, but there are hairline cracks in them that make turning a pen a problem.
As far as HOW to use coffee. Dawn has not made coffee she likes yet. So, I don't know YET!.
A suspicion - use more hardener, so it sets faster, it will help separate from the pipe, but it will be more difficult to turn, because it will want to shatter.
So, what do I KNOW???? Darned little!
