I used to use corn meal now I use cream of wheat - it gives me more consistent accuracy ;) :thumb:
 
A little while back the question was brought up about using coffee grounds as a filler. In it the pros and cons were kicked around. I now find myself in a similar situation. Cleaning out the cabinets we came across a box of old Tea bags. Carol said get rid of them so I was saving the paper to make nitrated cartridges. Now I got a cup or two of the dried out tea. Should I just toss it in the compost or would can it be used as a filler?
Yes, tea will stain your horn. So will coffee, as far as I know. With tea you can vary the strength a bit, and do it till you get the patina you want.
