Depending on the type of stain you are using, most stains are dry and cured within 24 hours to 48 hours. After that time, it's safe for additional coats or to apply polyurethane or the sealer of your choice.
The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, resists lapping, and dries in two hours, making all your wood projects quick, beautiful and easy.
Most oil-based stains must dry for at least 12 hours before they are exposed to any moisture/rain; however, Ready Seal, if properly applied to prepped and dried wood, can get wet within a couple of hours, and it won't wash away. Oil-based stains will generally take 24-72 hours to fully cure.
When first applied, window tint may appear darker than anticipated. However, as it cures and dries the film will lighten slightly. If after some time your tint still looks wet with no prospect of drying or curing in sight, do not hesitate to reach out to a professional tinting shop for assistance.
Apply a second coat of stain after the first has dried fully. This will usually produce a slightly darker coloring with the excess wiped off. Substitute a glaze or gel stain for the liquid stain. Glazes and gel stains usually contain a higher ratio of pigment to vehicle.
The porous nature of wood means that extra moisture in the air on a humid day can impede the drying process. Additionally, cold temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit also increase the amount of time it takes wood stain to dry. For the fastest drying time possible, choose a warm, low-humidity day to stain wood.
If applied too thickly, they won't dry properly and will remain tacky to the touch. This can also happen if the wood wasn't stripped and sanded completely down to bare wood, since the stain will sit on the surface rather than soaking into the wood.
Dried stain will feel dry to the touch, not sticky or tacky.
Let your stain dry for the recommended time on the can before touching, which can be anywhere from 2 to 24 hours. Then, just touch the wood! If it feels dry, your wood is likely ready for another coat of stain or a sealant.
Stains and oils penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry. If it rains within 48 hours of applying a treatment, the water will soak into the wood, and try and displace the stain. This can cause a blotchy, flaky look, rather than a smooth, even, coat.
Species such as maple and walnut dry at an intermediate rate, ie a 1” walnut board air dried in the south in the summer time will dry in about 120 days, and species such as oak, mesquite, and hickory dry very slowly (ie 1” per year). It is best to store lumber “in the tree” until you are ready to mill it.
The best finish for walnut is a clear one. Several coats of Danish oil provide clarity. For protection, add a compatible clear topcoat.
Walnut is a darker wood with shades that range from pale browns to dark browns.

You can leave wood stain overnight because it is part of the drying process. After the first coat, you should allow it to dry for at least 12-24 hours. Follow the same process for the second coat.
If you already have something stained and the temperature is cool or the humidity is high let it sit for awhile. Time and air movement helps. If it is not any better after 24 hours, gently wipe it down with rags, allow surface to dry and adjust appearance with light brush coats of stain.
Usually, these treatment methods will recommend cold or lukewarm water, as hot water often sets stains. Similarly, you should always check a wet garment to see if the stain is gone before putting it in the dryer. The heat of the dryer can set the stain and make it permanent.
The takeaway? Wood stain is intended to be wiped off immediately after application. If the wood stain remains on the wood, liquid solvents in the stain will evaporate, leaving sticky pigments behind that will never fully dry.
You can expect the stain to dry to the touch within 10 to 12 hours after application, though it may take up to 72 hours for the stain to fully dry. Additionally, the porous nature of the material can result in a blotchy, uneven finish, so it's a good idea to use a pre-stain conditioner on the wood beforehand.
The longer a stain is left untreated, the less likely it is to be removed. When a spill first occurs, it sits on the surface of the fabric, but over time, that spill can start to react with the fabric causing the fabric to actually change colors.
If the stain stays on too long, the wood will absorb too much stain. As a result, you may have a darker shade than you anticipated—or uneven coloring. Likewise, the stain can start to peel and flake off. The wood may also discolor or become blotchy.
A water-based deck stain will dry much faster than an oil-based deck stain. If the temperature is above 60 degrees, most water-based stains will dry within 1-4 hours. Rain should not affect the stain as long as it is fully dry.
We always recommend two coats of stain for any wood project, but you should only apply as much stain as the wood can absorb. Extremely dense hardwoods may only be able to absorb one coat of wood stain. The general rule of thumb is to apply only as much deck stain as the wood can absorb.
It is important to wipe off the stain thoroughly and consistently (in the direction of the grain) to get an evenly stained surface. If a darker, or deeper color is desired, allow the first coat of stain to dry for 24 hours, then apply a second coat of stain in the same manner as the first.
