More than 3 days will be fine.
If you stain with a breathable stain such as from SANSIN Corporation, you may coat anytime. If you're sealing it, you should wait until the moisture content is at least 12%. I can't tell you how long to wait because that depends on the humidity, temperature, how long it has already been cut etc.
I've never tried that as it's not generally done. Staining is usually done before sealing.You'll have to remove the Thompson's before you stain unless it has been long enough that the Thompson's is no longer effective. To test to see if the surface will take stain, spray some water on it. If it beads up, it will not accept a stain.
Yes it can, however, it shouldn't last long.
I always let it have about 3 days to fully dry. -Maybe quite long, but I feel secure about that.
Yes, you can stain pressure treated wood as long as it has had several months to dry out.
Allow the pre-stain to dry for about 15-30 minutes before applying the stain. This will ensure proper absorption and a smooth finish.
Stain should typically dry for 24 hours before applying polyurethane to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
Allow the stain to dry completely for at least 24 hours before applying polyurethane.
A stain should typically dry for at least 24 hours before applying polyurethane to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
Your deck should typically dry for at least 24 to 48 hours before staining it. This allows the wood to fully dry and ensures better absorption of the stain.
Oil-based stain should dry for at least 24 hours before applying water-based polyurethane.
Wood stain should typically dry for at least 24 hours before applying polyurethane to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish.
A stain should typically dry for at least 24 hours before applying polyurethane to ensure a smooth and durable finish.
Deck stain should typically dry for at least 24-48 hours before rain to ensure proper adhesion and protection.
You should wait at least 24 hours for an oil-based stain to dry before applying water-based polyurethane. This allows the stain to fully cure and ensures a smooth finish when applying the polyurethane.
Pre-stain typically takes about 15-30 minutes to dry before applying the final coat of stain.
Treated wood should dry for at least 6 months before staining to ensure proper adhesion and longevity of the stain.
