QuestionHow long does it take for coffee stained paper to dry?Community AnswerIt depends on what method you want to use for it.If you want to blow dry it, it'll take a while to dry but if you want to bake-dry it (preheated oven at 200°F (94°C) for 5 to 10 minutes) then it will not take long but you still have to cool it off before doing anything. I would do the bake-dry because it's easier and faster.

But for the pencil...I assume it will also become smudged but you may not notice it after you stain the paper.
